So much colonial weirdness normalised by art history programs and cultural institutions that continue to uncritically engage with these foundations, at times with a tepid disclaimer like ‘yeah, this is extremely racist but anyway so….’ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Link to all Sources in our ‘Colonial Weirdness’ are.na channel. ____________⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ On a similar note, @decoratingdissidence just completed their month long Guest Projects Digital Residency ‘Take Dada Seriously! It’s worth it?’, critiquing the appropriation of African and indigenous art, lack of gender parity and approaches to sexuality. Their salons + resources are on their website.
