{"product_id":"black-index","title":"The Black Index","description":"The artists featured in The Black Index-Dennis Delgado, Alicia Henry, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Titus Kaphar, Whitfield Lovell, and Lava Thomas-build upon the tradition of Black self-representation as an antidote to colonialist images. Their translations of photography challenge the medium's long-assumed qualities of objectivity, legibility, and identification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing drawing, sculpture, and digital technology to transform the recorded image, these artists question our reliance on photography as a privileged source for documentary objectivity and historical understanding. The works featured here offer an alternative practice-a Black index. In the hands of these six artists, the index still serves as a finding aid for information about Black subjects, but it also challenges viewers' desire for classification and, instead, redirects them toward alternative information.","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663927545892,"sku":"9783777435961","price":70.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783777435961.jpg?v=1777348690","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/black-index","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
