Tate Britain: Look Again: The National Collection of British Art Reimagined for Today
Empire is a groundbreaking exploration of how Britain's colonial legacy has deeply influenced its art, offering insights from one of the UK's most influential voices on the subject.
In the twenty-first century, Britain, a nation with a complex history marked by war, conquest, and slavery, cannot afford to overlook the significance of the word "empire." The echoes of our past continue to shape our present and future, shaping our relationships, ideologies, and artistic expressions.
In her book, Empire, award-winning author and broadcaster Afua Hirsch delves into the intricate interplay between Britain's imperial history and its national collection of art. Through a comprehensive examination of historical and contemporary works, Hirsch challenges the prevailing narrative of art and explores how artists from Britain and around the world have responded to the dramas, tragedies, and everyday experiences of the Empire.
The exhibition features a diverse array of historic and contemporary artworks, showcasing the rich tapestry of artistic responses to the Empire. From iconic paintings and sculptures to lesser-known works, Empire invites viewers to reevaluate the value and meanings of some of the most recognizable and beloved artworks in history.
Through its exploration of the changing perspectives and interpretations of art over time, Empire offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the complexities of Britain's imperial past and its enduring impact on art and society.
