Reframing Blackness

Brought to you by Penguin. Since the inception of mainstream art history, Blackness has been distinctly ignored. In Reframing Blackness , art historian and founder of @ABlackHistoryOfArt, Alayo Akinkugbe challenges this void. Exploring the presentation of Black figures in Western art, Blackness in museums, Blackness in feminist art movements, as well as Blackness in the curriculum, Alayo unveils an overlooked but integral part of our collective art history. Refreshing and accessible, this promises to start a much-needed conversation in culture and education. © Alayo Akinkugbe 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
