Political consciousness is partly formed in the symbolic realm. Aesthetics & poetics paint a picture of the values that define a political vision. For the @artreview.bsky.social Asia Summer 2025 issue, I wrote on the example of the Black Panther Party: artreview.com/towards-an-a...

Towards an Aesthetic Consciousness

The example of the Black Panther Party reminds us that a liberated society requires a liberated visual imagination

As the comedian Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa puts it: “People used to group us in Sri Lanka under the ‘Third World’. It was a little mean, but at least it showed how the world viewed us. Now there’s the nicer term ‘the Global South’, which makes it sound like it was geography that fucked us.” It wasn’t.

In the May issue of @artreview.bsky.social, I offer a little provocation: lets do away with 'global south' & 'global majority'. There is no shared hemispheric condition between exploiter & exploited, & the geographies of neocolonialism aren't natural or demographic. artreview.com/the-trap-of-...

The Trap of Catchalls

Baggy terms such as ‘Global South’ and ‘Global Majority’ are useless, because you can’t address what you can’t describe
