Description:"Can we decolonize Art Book Fairs? Can we decentralize knowledge and deconstruct privilege in our contexts? Decolonizing Art Book Fairs aims to rethink the existing and speculative frameworks of organizational practice in Art Book Fairs. This workbook attempts to introduce new narratives and help deconstruct the frontiers between North(s) and South(s), putting an emphasis on practitioners and initiatives from the African continent and the African diaspora." -- back of book
