Why is the history of modern art only about the work of White/European
artists? This question is not rhetorical, but about the reality of
Eurocentric legacies of colonialism and racism, which not only sees
artists of Asian and African origins as outside of art history but
also excludes them from it. In this pioneering work, Art &
Institutional Racism, Rasheed Araeen reveals how Asian, African and
the Caribbean artists in Britain have challenged this exclusion. Their
work not only confronts the Eurocentricity of art history but also
redefines modernism and its art history. And in doing so it aims to
liberate art from Eurocentrism and also society as a whole from its
lingering imperialism.
