‘This book is urgent, essential, accessible and it needs to be on every art history reading list'' BERNARDINE EVARISTO
‘Thorough, accessible, essential’ KATY HESSEL
‘Bold, eloquent, personal and clear-eyed, Akinkugbe is a major new voice in writing about art'' DAN HICKS
''A gift of knowledge and an ode to those whose creative expressions give us much to be inspired by today'' SOFIA AKEL
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.
