Issue 43, Spring/Summer 2017, reflects on artistic practices that challenge the legacies of colonialism. Looking at the work of Chimurenga, Lubaina Himid and Duane Linklater, amongst others, we ask how artists can create self-initiated structures that dispute the politics of inclusion and exclusion. Accompanying essays consider human-animal relationships within indigenous cultures and the first pan-African festival held in Dakar in 1966.
