Description

Art & Institutional Racism by Rasheed Araeen challenges the dominant narrative in modern art history. The exclusion of Asian, African and Caribbean artists from the canon is revealed to be rooted in Eurocentric legacies of colonialism and racism. This pioneering work highlights how these artists have challenged this exclusion, redefining modernism and its art history in the process. Their contributions not only confront the Eurocentrism of art history but also aim to liberate art from its lingering imperialism. By shedding light on this often-overlooked chapter in art history, Araeen's work provides a fresh perspective on the evolution of modern art. This book offers a significant contribution to our understanding of art history and its relationship with colonialism and racism.
