Through an indigenous and new materialist thinking approach, this
book discusses various examples in Africa where colonial public
art, statues, signs, and buildings were removed or changed after
countries' independence. An African perspective on these processes
will bring new understandings and assist in finding ways to address
issues in other countries and continents. These often-unresolved
issues attract much attention, but finding ways of working through
them requires a deeper and broader approach. Contributors propose
an African indigenous knowledge perspective in relation to new
materialism as alternative approaches to engage with visual redress
and decolonisation of spaces in an African context. Authors such as
Frans Fanon, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, and George Dei will be referred to
regarding indigenous knowledge, decolonialisation, and
Africanisation and Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, and Rosi Braidotti
regarding new materialism. The book will be of interest to scholars
working in art history, visual culture, heritage studies, African
studies, and architecture.
