Lijin Lecture / Joan Kee: Afro Asia, or Art for a Global Majority

Downtown Berkeley

Dr. Joan Kee, author of the Robert Motherwell Book Award-winning The Geometries of Afro Asia, delivers a lecture on how Black and Asian artists forged unexpected connections across continents and civil rights movements. She proposes a radical rethinking of art history, one that centers global majorities and navigates between cultures rather than imposing Western frameworks.
