The Decolonising Arts Institute warmly invites you to a roundtable discussion and drinks reception to celebrate the launch of the e-publication Conceptualism - Intersectional Readings, International Framings: Situating Black Artists and Modernism in Europe Since 1968 .

Edited by  Nick Aikens, susan  pui san lok and Sophie Orlando, the e-publication includes a collection of revised and expanded papers and embedded video links from the two-day conference Conceptualism: Intersectional Readings, International Framings, Black Artists & Modernism in Europe Since 1968, which took place at the Van Abbemuseum in December 2017 in  collaboration with the AHRC project,  Black Artists and  Modernism. The e-publication gathers artists, curators and academics to consider two broad, overarching questions: How to rethink conceptualism intersectionally and internationally as a strategy rather than as a movement? And, how to situate ‘black artists’ and ‘modernism’ within Europe?

With keynote papers by Iris Dressler and Valerie Cassel Oliver and multiple readings of the work of Nil Yalter, stanley brouwn, David Medalla and Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, contributors include: Juan Albarrán, Lotte Arndt, Eva Bentcheva, Sonia Boyce, Jennifer Burris, Laura Castagnini, Alice Correia, Sandra Delacourt, David Dibosa, Fabienne Dumont, EC Feiss, Alexandra Kokoli, Elisabeth Lebovici, Christa-Maria Lerm-Hayes, Sumesh Sharma, and Yu Wei.
