Alayo Akinkugbe: Reframing Blackness, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the African diaspora to Ancient Egypt and Western Civilisation, Blackness has been distinctly missing from discussions of art history. In Reframing Blackness, art historian Alayo Akinkugbe, challenges this void, bringing it into the mainstream and interrogating its consequences on culture, society and education. Alayo covers a wide range of topics, exploring the presentation of Black figures in western Art, Blackness in Museums, contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora and Blackness in the curriculum. This is a book that will unveil a long buried, but integral part, of our collective art history and start a much needed conversation. Accessible and incredibly refreshing, Reframing Blackness tells the history of art as it's never been told before.
