'Il cono d’ombra, Narrative Decoloniali dell’Oltremare'

This exhibition collects 50 works by 12 artists from the African diaspora and is set up in two spaces of Castel Nuovo: Antisala dei Baroni, the same spaces that were part of the Second International Colonial Art Exhibition held here from 1 October 1934 to 31 January 1935. The exhibition 'Il cono d’ombra', through recognising its host-space’s colonial past, comes from the need to find other conceptual categories (more experimental and less canonical) if not counter-narratives to rethink the historic colonial experience in a changed social political context.
