Description

Stuart Hall’s work on culture, politics, race, and media are familiar to readers throughout the world. Equally important was his decades long commitment to visual art. As the first collection to bring together Hall’s work on the visual, this volume assembles more than two dozen of Hall’s essays, lectures, reviews, catalog texts, and conversations on art, film, and photography. Providing rare insights into Hall’s engagement with the “radically different” intellectual and aesthetic space of the visual imaginary, these works articulate the importance of the visual as a site of contestation at the same time as being a space in which black artists and filmmakers re-frame questions about diaspora, identity, and globalization. Selected Writings on Visual Arts and Culture demonstrates the breadth and range of Hall’s thinking on art, film, photography, archives, and museums. In so doing, it enables us to arrive at radical and innovative ways of understanding the world.
