A new forum for advanced research and writing on
global African arts that investigates African and
African Diaspora identities in the age of
globalization. As an arena for rethinking African
art history and interrogating the value of African
art/cultural knowledge in the global economy and how
that knowledge is transmitted, Critical
Interventions is particularly interested in
dissecting how such value is created, and the
politics of the commodification of African artworks
and of their reception. The journal inaugurates a
formal discourse on the aesthetics, politics and
economics of African cultural patrimony as it
affects African ownership of the intellectual
property rights of its indigenous systems of
knowledge and cultural practices. Critical
Interventions is the first journal to focus on a new
African art history that speaks to 21st Century
issues. |
A series of one hundred monographs on modern and
contemporary African artists over the next decade
designed to address a persistent lack of appropriate
educational resources on the artists profiled. Each
monograph contains a critical analysis of the artist
or context of practice and high quality
illustrations of relevant artworks. |
An online magazine that provides information on
global African arts, art collections, museum
practices, exhibitions, artist initiatives, and the
political and cultural issues that affect global
African art practice. Its goal is to be an
exhaustive source of valuable information on global
African arts and issues that affect its production,
reception and value. The Aachron Newsletter, as a
general interest, jargon-free journalistic chronicle
of global African arts, invites contributions from
specialists and non-specialists alike.
