Art in the postcolonial imagination: Notes towards globalising curriculum and aesthetics

He argues that the work of the postcolonial imagination dynamically engages with systems of domination, authority over knowledge and representation, destabilising received traditions of identity, association and feeling, and offering, in turn, new starting points for affiliation and community that draw on the wellspring of humanity, indigenous and commodified.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for researchers and policymakers, who are interested in postcolonial education and curriculum design.
