The third book by Hangar Books, specialising in publications in the context of contemporary arts, has a particular focus on epistemologies of the south.
\nFollowing on from the two previous works, dedicated respectively to Angola and Mozambique, this new book from the series \u201cAtlantica\u201d focuses on art from Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Sa\u0303o Tome\u0301 and Pri\u0301ncipe, as well as their diasporas. Edited by the artist Ce\u0301sar Schofield Cardoso, together with Mo\u0301nica de Miranda, who was also responsible for the coordination of the book.<\/p>\n

Among the selected artists, we have: Olavo Amado, Nu\u0301 Barreto, Welket Bungue\u0301, Ce\u0301sar Schofield, Irineu Destourelles, Vanessa Fernandes, A\u0302ngelo Lopes, Sandim Mendes, Melissa Rodrigues, Herberto Smith, Abdel Queta Tavares, and Rene\u0301 Tavares. For the theoretical essays we have: Azu Nwagbogu, Mo\u0301nica de Miranda, Ce\u0301sar Schofield Cardoso, Ana Balona de Oliveira, Ana Cristina Pereira, Ine\u0302s Beleza Barreiros, Raquel Schefer, Ana Nolasco, A\u0301lvaro Lui\u0301s Lima, Michelle Salles, Paula Nascimento, Mariana Aboim, Raquel Lima, Valdi\u0301via Delgado Tolentino, Cristiana Tejo, Lui\u0301sa Santos, Inoce\u0302ncia Mata, and Joacine Katar Moreira.<\/p>\n

This curatorial framework highlights contemporary artists within and across regions who have operated from the turn of the century to the present. They are artists involved in experimental and conceptual art research and practices that investigate colonial and post-colonial narratives. The works of the artists represented in this book are diverse in medium and approach, as well as in addressing social issues such as identity and bodily politics, place, memory, and history. The new millennium witnessed an unprecedented cultural production, characterized by a mixture of radicalism and marginality, nostalgia and utopia. These artists are primarily committed to challenging fixed notions of place and asserting connections between artistic production and political, social, ideological and personal formations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtlantica\u201d<\/strong> is the title and organizing principle of this series and its semantics date back to classical mythology. It is loaded with interpretive potential on issues of location, geography, exile, migration, separation, exodus, diaspora, and displacement, and represents the movement to leave the homeland, a common experience for many of the artists represented in the other books of the series. Atlantica also points to the well-studied history of the crossing of the South and North Atlantic and refers to the concept of The Black Atlantic (1993), by Paul Gilroy. Gilroy uses Atlantic images to demonstrate the position of identities between two (or more) lands, cultures, which cannot be defined by borders. Atlantica is situated in this place of double conscience in the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, in The Souls of Black Folk (Du Bois 1903, 8).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
