The full portal containing all resources can be found here.
This portal contains hundreds of references arranged along subject, themes and media in eight bibliographies. It provides access to materials on anti-racist, postcolonial and decolonising art histories and is meant for anyone conducting research in those areas in art history or in visual or spatial culture. It is also meant to support academics in making meaningful change in their departments, their teaching and their research.
The collection is curated by CHASE alumnus Dr. Edwin Coomasar on behalf of the Association for Art History.
