The Nile on eBay   Curating and the Legacies of Colonialism in Contemporary Iberia by Carlos Garrido Castellano, Bruno Leitao

Curating and the Legacies of Colonialism in Contemporary Iberia redefines Iberian and curatorial Studies by situating curatorial practice at the centre of the configuration of modern, postcolonial societies in the Iberian context.

FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The first comprehensive study of postcolonial practices in Iberian art curation.This book reveals how art curation shapes postcolonial identities on the Iberian peninsula. Grappling with colonial fragmentation, communities in Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and France have turned to artistic displays to work out new identities in a modern, cosmopolitan world. These efforts take a variety of forms as particular curators cope with the particular imperial legacies that drive ongoing socio-economic transformation. Curating and the Legacies of Colonialism in Contemporary Iberia thus draws together, expands, and redefines both Iberian and curatorial studies through a decolonial lens.

Review

"This is a timely and ground-breaking volume. . . . For the field of Iberian Studies in particular, it offers not only a much needed opportunity to broaden its active 'cultural archive"'beyond the traditional literary core, but also to incorporate and question concepts of peripherality and coloniality. For Spanish and Portuguese art studies, the volume proposes an innovative comparative approach, one that not only links and contrasts curatorial practices in both countries, but also places them in a wider artistic, geocultural and academic context, and in relation to their own colonial practices." --Santiago Pérez Isasi, Lisbon University
