Abstract
Diasporic art is a contested concept. Whilst some suggest that it positions certain artists as necessarily apart from the mainstream artworld and called upon to produce work that speaks to themes of displacement and loss, others see the critical potential of diasporic art to highlight the links between forms of oppression rooted in colonial histories and contemporary forms of injustice. Importantly, recent work and critical reflection considers the potential for diasporic art to offer new paradigms and ways of seeing beyond white supremacist structures.
