The lecture explores the history and concept of ‘global
art’ through its indexing of migration and crisis. Focussing on the work of Suzanne Cesaire and others, it examines how art
is mediated by and resists the violences at play in geographies of dispossession, and the reproductive abstract logics of
gender and ‘race’.
