Join us to celebrate the release of curator and writer Sara Raza’s new book, Punk Orientalism: The Art of Rebellion, published by Black Dog Press.
About
Raza will discuss the publication at the South London Gallery Bookshop in conversation with Catherine Wood, Tate Modern’s Director of Programme.
This timely book explores revolutionary artistic practices centred on the spaces and places associated with the former Soviet Union. It focuses particularly on Central Asia and the Caucasus during and after the Cold War, as well as looking at the USSR’s complex relationship with the Arab world, Iran and Turkey.
Inspired by punk methodology, the writing takes up a fractured, poetic form. The book includes art and artworks by over 30 contemporary art practitioners who have challenged state and academic policies, mapped new territories and formed new artistic movements.
