{"product_id":"deanna-bowen","title":"Deanna Bowen","description":"This black-on-black book brings together over 20 years of Deanna Bowen's commitment to the excavation and recontextualization of colonial legacies-particularly those which implicate her family history and the Black diaspora in North America-making her artworks vital, both in Canada and abroad. Working primarily with photography-both rediscovered and new, but also video, documentary film, sound, performance, publishing, found objects and installation art - Bowen introduces us to a re-reading of white historic and archival facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom its early roots in experimental documentary to constellations of found imagery, Bowen's practice has articulated how the familial histories of Black folks-histories often  relegated to the margins - illuminate the official record. When she re-contextualizes previously published images in her projects, or revives discarded negatives, Bowen is hyper-aware of W.E.B. Du Bois' concept of \"double consciousness\"-the notion that to be Black is to live with the conflict of seeing yourself represented by White authors while profoundly recognizing the limits of such representation.\u003c\/i\u003e - Crystal Mowry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCo-published with Scotiabank Photography Award, Toronto","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664418508836,"sku":"9783969990735","price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783969990735.jpg?v=1777356925","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/deanna-bowen","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
