Afterall MASP Art and Decolonisation
Since 2017, Afterall has been working with the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) to explore practices that question and critique colonial legacies in contemporary artmaking, curation, teaching and critical art writing. Collaborating to produce research in the spheres of decolonisation, de-colonial and post-colonial studies, Afterall and MASP have engaged artists, academics, curators, writers and researchers from around the world to formulate critical and conceptual tools to conceptually reinterpret and practically transform art and its institutions. Questions of race, gender, indigeneity and sexuality are critical to this research.“
Here are gathered video recordings and newly commissioned and/or translated texts produced as part of this collaboration, including material gathered from seminar events held at MASP, Central Saint Martins and online.
