Focusing on three artists and one artist collective, Nugent analyses artworks produced by Sammy Baloji, Mich鑞e Magema, Georges Senga and Kongo Astronauts, each of whom offers a different perspective onto this history gleaned from their own experiences. In their photography and video art, these artists rework existent images and redress archival absences, making visible people and events occluded from dominant narratives. Their artworks are shown to offer a re-reading of the colonial and immediate post-independence past, blurring the lines of historical and speculative knowledge, documentary and fiction. Nugent demonstrates how their practices create a new type of visual record for the future, one that attests to the ramifications of colonialism across time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriella Nugent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462702993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462702998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Gabriella Nugent","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079666594047,"sku":"9789462702998","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_508659df-aaa3-4076-99da-2eed1477a859.jpg?v=1685482444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colonial-legacies-gabriella-nugent-9789462702998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
