Whose Histories?

Keynote presentation at the two-day symposium, 'Global Britain: Decolonising Art's Histories', organised by the Association for Art History’s Doctoral and Early Career Research (DECR) Committee.

Keynote Abstract: ‘Whose histories?’ is a visual and performative paper in three parts: approaching questions of the decolonial and decolonisation via several subjectively situated beginnings; revisiting reflections on ‘Decolonising Art History’, partly by way of introducing the UAL Decolonising Arts Institute, and partly to signal the shifting tensions and challenges that bear on, or are produced by, a multiple practice and positionalities as an artist-writer-researcher-academic; and finally, turning to her recent and current projects, A COVEN A GROVE A STAND (2019) and seven x seven (2021), by way of returning to the question, ‘Whose histories?’
