Avant-Garde and Liberation: Contemporary Art and Decolonial Modernism

Used paperback in good condition.

Avant-Garde And Liberation examines the significance of decolonial modernism for contemporary art and its critical engagement with current threats posed by racist violence, nationalist politics, and neocolonial economies. While the avant-garde debate today still tends to have a Eurocentric focus, the artists gathered here refer in their work to avant-gardes in India, Africa, and the Arab world, and also the "Black Atlantic," which developed in the context of the anti-colonial and anti-racist liberation movements of the twentieth century.
