This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e352\u003c\/span\u003e pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11.1 x 2.5 x 18.1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Penguin Random House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44065840693473,"sku":"9780141998213","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/0581\/3703\/files\/What-is-black-art.jpg?v=1695720789"},{"product_id":"when-we-see-us-a-century-of-black-figuration-in-painting","title":"When We See Us : A Century of Black Figuration in Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA major new study of Black figurative art from Africa and the African diaspora, covering 100 years from the early 20th century to now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished to accompany a major exhibition at Zeitz MOCAA, Cape Town, this book presents a comprehensive exploration of Black self representation through portraiture and figuration, celebrating Black subjectivity and Black consciousness from Pan-African and Pan-Diasporic perspectives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a primary focus on representational painting, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhen We See Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e celebrates how artists from Africa and the African diaspora have imagined, positioned, memorialized and asserted African and African diasporic experiences during a 100-year period spanning from the early 20th century to the present.
