ForewordThis year the Prince Claus Fund has chosen Culture and the HumanBody as its theme for its activities and awards. It is a very broad theme.The majority of human activities are related to providing for the needsof our bodies: for their healthy maintenance, comfort, protection andpleasure. Our defining ‘human’ feature, the mind, is inextricably linkedwith, and influenced by, its container, the body.As social beings, we construct guidelines for what we, as a group,consider acceptable body behaviour. Both written and unwritten,these laws determine, manage and regulate all aspects of body use andpresentation in a culture. They can be flexible or inflexible, rigidlyimposed or virtually disregarded, depending on the society’s attitudeto the body, and these laws change over time. Each of us, as individuals,is influenced not only by the biological, physical and psychological needsof our own body, but also by the cultural norms of body managementconstructed by the society in which we live.The 2008 Prince Claus Laureates offer us provocative insights intodiffering conceptions of the body. They reveal aspects of the profoundinteraction of the body and culture, and demonstrate the need for greaterawareness of the impact of this interaction on human development.It is remarkable that of all the artistic disciplines, this year’s PrincipalAward winner is in the field of literature. Through her skill and insightIndira Goswami creates hauntingly graphic narratives that reveal theintense significance of the lived body experience. The physicality ofindividual existence, the embodiment of communal cultural and religiousbeliefs, and the bodily inscription of poverty, gender norms and socialstatus are all intricately interwoven throughout Goswami’s prose.In addition to the Principal Laureate we celebrate ten outstandingindividuals as 2008 Prince Claus Laureates. Through their creative actionsthey offer us new insights, provoke debates and have an importantpositive impact on development both within their local environment andin the global society. They have been selected from a large number ofnominations from various artistic disciplines covering the different themesof the Fund, which in addition to this year’s theme include CreatingSpaces of Freedom, Beauty in Context, Living Together and Zones ofSilence. The awards programme emphasises the diversity of the Fund’smission to promote culture and development.8 2008 Prince Claus Awards
The 2008 Prince Claus Laureates remind us that the values we placeon and express through the body and other means have profound effectsnot only on our own lives but also on the lives of others. They makeus appreciate the importance of the interrelationship between cultureand development.hrh Prince Friso and hrh Prince ConstantijnHonorary Chairmen of the Prince Claus FundHRH Prince Constantijn and HRH Prince FrisoPhoto © Capital PhotosCulture and the Human Body9
