Abstract
This paper is relevant to how the discourse of doctoral research can be circulated through a range of platforms. It will pose the question: ‘Is there a creative space where ethnic identity can be preserved along with the production of new art forms?’ The central point of this doctoral research is to discuss whether the culture’s visual identity - Nubian art in particular - can be preserved, since it may be absorbed, developed or combined within a variety of influences of the modern melting pot (CAD). Also, in terms of experimental design using new technology, it shows how such images can be integrated into areas of innovative design and creativity. Ultimately, the main concern is to be able to produce new creative work without changing the essence of Nubian visual culture.
