Akinkugbe is a brilliant new writer and thinker challenging art history. This book is urgent, essential, accessible and it needs to be on every art history reading list' Bernardine Evaristo A sparkling debut. Bold, eloquent, personal and clear-eyed, Alayo Akinkugbe is a major new voice in writing about art, museums and culture. This book will shift your frames of reference, expand your canvas, and give you hope for the future changing how you look at art while also making you look again at your ways of seeing Dan Hicks, author of The Brutish Museums Thorough, accessible, essential Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art without Men 'To explore a history of Black communities across centuries of art is a love letter to the practice, a gift of knowledge and an ode to those whos creative expressions give us much to be inspired by today' Sofia Akel, cultural historian and founder Since the inception of mainstream art history, Blackness has been distinctly ignored. In Reframing Blackness, art historian and founder of @ABlackHistoryOfArt, Alayo Akinkugbe challenges this void. Exploring the presentation of Black figures in Western art, as well as Blackness in museums, in feminist art movements and in the curriculum, Alayo unveils an overlooked but integral part of our collective art history. Refreshing and accessible, this promises to start a much-needed conversation in culture and education.
A brilliantly written manifesto for inclusion, positive change, and integration. Concise, succinct, informative, and the next book you need to read on Art if you've been reading the classic texts.
