ABSTRACT Arts-based practices can occupy a fragile position where its interventionist character becomes both a gift and a poison. For instance, some practitioners/researchers from the Global North consider the Global South as a region to curate, perform and market interventions to solve problems. Such interventionist initiatives have also positioned those regions as sites for/of experimentation as seen in different international development and humanitarian initiatives. Some interventions have been done ethically while others have become a way to extract knowledge and extort the people. I pose ethical questions on performing interventions particularly in conflict/post-conflict zones in Africa not to change what we do but to rethink how we do what we do and perhaps at times to change why we do what we do. I reflect on a theatre performance I directed in Nigeria that was staged in Sudan and raise ethical questions because intervention itself is a performance that should be staged within appropriate ethical protocols and respectful canons.

在冲突后地区进行基于艺术的干预：关键和道德问题

摘要基于艺术的实践可能会占据脆弱的位置，在这种情况下，其干预主义者的性格既有天赋又有毒。例如，一些来自全球北部的从业者/研究人员将全球南部视为策划，执行和营销干预措施以解决问题的区域。此类干预主义举措还把这些地区定位为进行试验的地点（如在不同的国际发展和人道主义举措中所见）。有些干预措施是按照道德规范进行的，而另一些干预措施已成为提取知识和勒索人民的一种方式。我对在非洲特别是在冲突/冲突后地区进行干预时提出伦理问题，不是改变我们所做的事情，而是重新思考我们如何做我们的事情，有时甚至改变我们为什么做我们的事情。
