(Feb.25, 2015) The
artworks of black and indigenous peoples – a missing chapter in the history of
modern art – is brought into sharp focus in a ‘revelatory’ exhibition at
Cambridge University’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
After being awarded £100,000 by the Art Fund to build a
collection of work from Australia, South Africa and Canada, the museum
officially opened The Power of Paper yesterday. The exhibition focuses on
artworks made in those countries during an epoch of decolonisation.
