On the themes found in the work of Lorraine O’Grady: Black female subjectivity, intersectional feminism, institutional critique, music, and translation.

A compelling rethinking of curatorial practice that proposes that Pidgin languages and pidginization offer a decolonialized reinvention of communicative practices; a space in which the boundaries between disciplines of knowledge collapse and sociopolitical, economic, ethical, and spiritual concepts and questions are renegotiated.

An exploration of the realities of environmental and social catastrophe through art practices that take apart Western anthropocentric models, legacies of patriarchal violence, and enduring colonial and racist discourses.

Unpayable Debt offers a black feminist reading of the political architecture of the global present. Inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s novel Kindred, the concept of the unpayable debt relates post-Enlightenment versions of ethical and economic value to colonial and racial subjugation.

Everything Passes Except the Past takes an artistic and discursive approach to coming to grips with a colonial past that remains present in museums, public space, and image archives. The contributions in this book propose visionary theoretical, practical, and ethical foundations for future museums based on artistic and curatorial remediation of ethnographic collections.
