‘Reshaping the Field’ is a critical anthology on the mediation of Blackness through pivotal historical art exhibitions. It explores Black identity through key historical moments that have created ruptures in the framing of Blackness, emphasizing how Black artists have been viewed and African diasporic art histories have been formed. Through a selection of landmark examples, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 1969 Harlem With contributions by artists, art historians and curators, this volume demonstrates that the question of Black identity in art and exhibition-making is historically and systemically produced.
