In and Out of London. Afterall as Transnational Platform

Providing in-depth analysis of art and its social, political, and philosophical contexts on its various publishing and research platforms, Afterall’s trajectory from 1999 to 2019 has been described as one moving from a position of ‘criticality’ to one of ‘decoloniality’. Where does the project stand now and how does it anticipate what is to come?

In this presentation I will retrace the history of Afterall, introduce recent issues of the journal related to East and Southeast Asian art histories and contemporary art practice, and discuss Afterall’s ongoing Art Writing and Publishing in Southeast Asia Writing Workshops series.
