Afterall Journal's Double Issue 55-56 'Out of Place' Focuses on Decolonial Thought and Global South Artists

The latest double issue of Afterall, numbers 55-56, titled 'Out of Place', came out on January 30, 2024. It dives into decolonial ideas, highlighting artists from the Global South, especially those from Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This non-profit journal aims to connect art and academia, challenging the usual Euro-American perspectives. Drawing from Edward Said's idea of feeling 'out of place', the editorial team wants to enhance discussions around artistic diversity and global viewpoints. Key contributors include Amanda Carneiro from the Museu de Arte de São Paulo and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa. The issue features various voices that push boundaries and examine overlooked histories, aligning with Said's vision of a shared narrative.
