Reframing Blackness – release 10th July 2025

Published by Penguin Random House, #Merky Books

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 as well as Blackness in museums, in feminist art movements and 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.
