| Research Abstract |
The study explores politics working around the gaze and culture of visual representation, focusing on fine art practices of British Black artists, who are of descent of post-war immigrants from the former colonies and have been marginalized by established art institutions. By examining the so-called Black Art movement in the 1980s and 90s and its aftermath the study shows that culture of visual representation is a site, on which the canon and power relations are being constructed and deconstructed, and that migrations are of great moment for the formation of visual culture.
