Afterall Journal Issue 44: Decolonial Art from the Peripheries
The 44th issue of Afterall Journal, released in September 2017 and overseen by Candice Hopkins, delves into modern art from areas such as Greenland, Sápmi, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia. It opens with Pia Arke’s 1995 plea for an 'expansion of the border.' Essays highlight the works of artists like Rustam Khalfin, Hans Ragnar Mathisen, and Maria Thereza Alves. Tsendpurev Tsegmid discusses Mongolia's Green Horse Society, while Yuliya Sorokina critiques Khalfin's performances. Additionally, Stefan Jonsson and Carsten Juhl analyze Arke's 1996 video 'Arctic Hysteria.' Jan-Erik Lundström and Maria Therese Stephansen review Mathisen's maps from the 1975 World Council of Indigenous Peoples. The issue also features an insert by Qiu Zhijie from his 2017 series 'All Living Things.'
