"Avant-Garde and Liberation examines the significance of decolonial modernism for contemporary art and its critical engagement with current threats posed by racist violence, nationalist politics, and neo-colonial economics. While the avant-garde debate today still tens to have a Eurocentric focus, the artists gathered here refer in their work to avant-gardes in India, Africa, and the Arab world, and also the "Black Atlantic," which developed in the context of the anti-colonial and anti-racist liberation movements of the twentieth century. With essays and interviews by Nana Adusci-Poku, Zeigam Azizov, Christian Kravagna, Saloni Mathur, and Lina Ramadan. Featured artists: Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Omar Ba, Radcliffe Bailey, Yto Barrada, Mohamed Bourouissa, Diedrick Brackens, Serge Attukwei Clottey, william cordova, Atul Dodiya, Robert Gabris, Jojo Gronostay, Leslie Hewitt, Iman Issa, Janine Jembere, patricia kaersenhout, Belinda Kazeem-Kaminski, Zoe Leonard, Vincent Meessen, The Otolith Group, Fahamu Pecou, Cauleen Smith, Maud Sulter, Vivan Sundaram, and Moffat Takadiwa." description from back cover of paperback.

Sie durchschaut den „Schmutz” der allgemeinen Manipulation in dem Grad, in dem sie gezwungen wird, sich immer tiefer in den gesellschaftlichen Sumpf hineindenken zu müssen.
