13 Conversations About Art and Cultural Race Politics
Monika Kin Gagnon, Richard Fung
2002
13 Conversations About Art and Cultural Race Politics brings together a variety of recent reflections by artists, critics, and curators on ethnicity and racialized difference as manifested in the visual and media arts.These conversations attempt to illuminate the complexity of the evolution of cultural race politics over the last two decades by engaging its history and formative concepts and by speculating on its future. What does it mean to continue thinking critically about race in relation to artistic practice and other cultural processes? What has created the situation wherein a recent history of cultural race politics seems to have withered? And what do concepts of "cultural appropriation" and authenticity of cultural forms—concepts that were so critical a decade ago—continue to mean within "global" contexts, where notions of cultural hybridity, syncretism, and fusion are now the order of the day?
