This book explores the work of artists based in the global south
whose practices and methods interrogate and explore the residue of
Empire. In doing so, it highlights the way that contemporary art
can assist in the un-forgetting of colonial violence and oppression
that has been systemically minimized. The research draws from
various fields including memory studies; postcolonial and
decolonial strategies of resistance; activism; theories of the
global south; the intersection between colonialism and the
Anthropocene, as well as practice-led research methodologies in the
visual arts. Told through the author's own perspective as an artist
and examining the work of Julie Gough, Yuki Kihara, Megan Cope,
Yhonnie Scarce, Lisa Reihana and Karla Dickens, the book develops a
number of unique theories for configuring the relationship between
art and a troubled past.
