In Flagstaff, Arizona, a culturally diverse mountain college town, this initiative seeks to address inequities in dementia care for underserved populations. Objectives: The primary goal was to establish the Northern Arizona Dementia Friendly Community Council as …

Okwui Enwezor's Prehistory of the Present: A Conversation
Shortly before his untimely death in 2019, aged 55, curator Okwui Enwezor asked art historian and critical theorist Terry Smith, a longtime friend and close collaborator, to collect a representative sample of his published writings, then scattered in catalogues, journals, magazines, and online. In this conversation, curator Naomi Beckwith and art historians Huey Copeland and Pamela M. Lee talk with Smith about his editorship of the resultant two …
Selected Writings, Volume 2: Curating the Postcolonial Condition
Okwui Enwezor is widely regarded as a leader among the brilliant curators who emerged in the 1990s to set agendas for understanding the global expansiveness of contemporary art. Among his pathfinding exhibitions were the second Johannesburg Biennale (1997), the paradigm-shifting Documenta 11 (2002), Archive Fever (2008), and Postwar (2016). In addition to breaking ground as a curator, Enwezor was also a prolific critic, essayist, and theorist. Se…

What is Radical
What does it mean to think and act radically, and how does this relate to forms of radicalism connected to earlier moments, for example, in the 20th century? What can be the role of radical art and scholarship under the conditions of late capitalism? More generally, how can art and artists serve the ongoing struggle for social justice and the agendas of emancipatory social change? Finally, what kinds of art criticism and art historical scholarshi…
An Introduction to Nicos Hadjinicolaou's “Art Centers and Peripheral Art” (1982)
Change in the history of art has many causes, but one often overlooked by art historical institutions is the complex, unequal set of relationships that subsist between art centers and peripheries. These take many forms, from powerful penetration of peripheral art by the subjects, styles and modes of the relevant center, through accommodation to this penetration to various degrees and kinds of resistance to it. Mapping these relationships should b…
Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box
If postmortems of the 2016 US presidential election tell us anything, it's that many voters discriminate on the basis of race, which raises an important question: in a society that outlaws racial discrimination in employment, housing, and jury selections, should voters be permitted to racially discriminate in selecting a candidate for public office? In Whitelash, Terry Smith argues that such racialized decision-making is unlawful and that remedie…
Cézanne: Figuring Truth in Painting
Cézanne's comment, in a letter to a younger artist, “I owe you the truth in painting and I shall tell it to you,” is often cited by commentators, including other artists, exhibition curators, art historians, and philosophers. Some take it up as a pointer to the kinds of truth available to painting, and to Cézanne's in particular. This article offers a fresh interpretation of the artist's efforts to register, by painting what he called his sensati…
On the anthropology of the contemporary: Addressing concepts, designs, and practices
Between 2007 and 2014, on his own and in association with Gaymon Bennett and Anthony Stavrianakis, Paul Rabinow has been devoted to the development of an "anthropology of the contemporary." The project is widely recognized as being original, stimulating, and provocative, within and outside of the disciplinary corridors of anthropology. Only spotty attention has been paid, however, to the overarching integrity of the complex spiral of figuration a…

Worlds Pictured in Contemporary Art: Planes and Connectivities
It is difficult to imagine a theme more relevant to contemporary concerns than that of this conference.1 The imagining of worlds within the World is a topic that has concerned me for some time, to the extent of nominating it in recent publications as one that is at the core of contemporary art, as it is of current being-in-the-world, and thus definitive of our contemporaneity. For example, I conclude a recent article, 'The State of Art History: C…

Uterine contractility of plants used to facilitate childbirth in Nigerian ethnomedicine
The folkloric use of several plant species during childbirth in Nigeria has been validated. Seven plants were for the first time characterized to have contractile properties on uterine myometrial cells. The results serve as ideal starting points in the search for safe, longer lasting, effective and tolerable uterotonic drug leads
Artist's pages: Face to Face
The artist has been both fascinated and repulsed in unequal measure by images of himself; the idea of self has been a recurrent theme in his work. His feelings about being photographed border on the phobic and he felt compelled to make works that could loosely be termed self-portraits, but showing those things about himself that cause him the most unease. For a recent show at the John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, he showed Once Bitten, a large p…
Currents of world-making in contemporary art
Contemporary art issues from a new sense of what constitutes ‘the world,’ and from a radically expanded sense of what constitutes ‘art.’ It is distinct in these ways from art produced in any earlier period, including modernity. A limited number of specific worlds are contemporaneous with each other in contemporary life, and in contemporary art. This article offers some methodological ideas as to how we might understand the relationships between t…

The power motive as an influence on group decision making
An experiment was conducted with college students to determine both the influence of the group leader's power motivation and the group's cohesiveness on quality of group decision making. Forty groups of five students came together to discuss a business study case that concerned whether a company should market a new microwave oven. Each member of the group had a different role—company president, manager of production, and so forth—and each had a r…
