| book description |

Stuart Hallâ€™s work on culture, politics, race, and media is familiar to readers throughout the world. Equally important was his decades-long commitment to visual art. As the first collection to bring together Hallâ€™s work on the visual, this volume assembles two dozen of Hallâ€™s essays, lectures, reviews, catalog texts, and conversations on art, film, and photography. Providing rare insights into Hallâ€™s engagement with the â€œradically differentâ€ intellectual and aesthetic space of the visual imaginary, these works articulate the importance of the visual as a site of contestation at the same time as it is a space in which Black artists and filmmakers reframe questions about diaspora, identity, and globalization. Selected Writings on Visual Arts and Culture demonstrates the breadth and range of Hallâ€™s thinking on art, film, photography, archives, and museums. In so doing, it enables us to arrive at radical and innovative ways of understanding the world.
