The whole picture : the colonial story of the art in our museums & why we need to talk about it
Procter, Alice2020
Books
Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to 'decolonize' our galleries? Must Rhodes fall? How to deal with the colonial history of art in museums and monuments in the public realm is a thorny issue that we are only just beginning to address. Alice Procter, creator of the Uncomfortable Art Tours, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art history and tells the stories that have been left out of the canon. Discover the propaganda painting the East India Company used to justify its rule in India, the tattooed Maori skulls collected as 'art objects' by Europeans and the contemporary artists who are taking on colonial history in their work and activism today.
