Abstract

Incorporating unpublished archival material, Gabriella Nugent brings together the lives of several artists who studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, c.1945–65. She highlights their mobility and internationalism to demonstrate the absurdity of art history’s categories and approaches to ‘decolonisation’, which have further isolated African artists from their contemporaries.
