Kritische Perspektiven auf Kunst und Kulturelle Bildung
Omschrijving
Postcolonial perspectives in the art world and in cultural education are booming, for example in the debate about the Humboldt Forum Berlin. However, a lot of times these perspectives are rather practices of recitation than practices of reception. In this context, deeper debates around and with theories of postcolonialism would be urgently needed, for example, to expose the impositions of dominant Eurocentric exhibition and mediation practices. In this regard, the contributions to this volume evaluate the responsibilities of art from an explicitly postcolonial perspective, focusing on the "double binds" that pervade the discipline. In doing so, they both expose discriminatory practices in the field and promote an (auto)critical theory development.
