Description
Discover the overlooked voices of British art history with What Is Black Art?, a groundbreaking collection of artworks and writings from the 1980s. For centuries, museums and galleries have been dominated by white and male artists, leaving behind a wealth of untold stories.
This book sheds light on the histories, methodologies, and socio-political perspectives of a generation of artists who challenged the mainstream British art systems during this period. Featuring works from Lubaina Himid, Sonia Boyce, Eddie Chambers, and Rasheed Araeen, among others, What Is Black Art? provides access to a diverse and multifaceted set of voices that have been locked away in archives until now.
The book offers a profound resonance with contemporary art and cultural debates, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of British art history and its ongoing impact on our culture today.
