About the book: Rethinking Transcultural Interactions in Visual Art
This book examines the transcultural and global turn in art research as well as in curatorial and artistic practice. Bringing together contributions from scholars, curators, and artists, the volume approaches transculturation as a critical lens for understanding the complex flows of people, objects, and ideas across the globe. The authors examine how knowledge systems are challenged and reconfigured, how plural identities are negotiated within entangled communities, and how alternative historiographic frameworks take shape beyond western paradigms. Attention to material practices highlights the role of objects and artworks as carriers of memory and affective solidarity. In this way, transculturation emerges as both an analytical framework and a transformative practice shaped by movement across borders.“
I had the pleasure to have a conversation with Birgit Hopfener and Cila Brosius on the theory of a Pluriversal Art History. Our chapter is called „Towards a Pluriversal Art History“ and you can access it here:
