- Book Synopsis
- Stuart Hall's work on culture, politics, race, and media is 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 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 it is a space in which Black artists and filmmakers reframe 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.
