When the World Went South:Contemporary Art Practice in the Global South and the Making of Our Times
The rise of powerful voices from the global South in the late twentieth century brought new ideas about democracy, the aims of economic growth, the nature of inequality, the making of restorative justice and the critical place of sustainability in the preserving the biosphere along with novel ways of seeing the world through literature and the visual arts. In all these ways Southern voices began to remake political, economic, social and cultural practices in both the South and the North. In this talk Bradley will focus on the growing centrality of the South in contemporary visual culture through a consideration of the transnational circuits shaping contemporary art practice in Southeast Asia in the 1990s.
