Description: The book comprosess a series of texts related to the exhibition held 50 years ago at the Museo de Arte Precolombino under the iniciative of Francisco Matto, as a testimony of the spread of African art beyond the workshops of artists and their late reception in Uruguay. On the one hand, it is a first step on the way to rething from Uruguy, an African continent with great wealth and variety of ethnicities and its gigantic aesthetic contribution. And on the other hand, a contribution to the dislocation of the hegemonic dislocation of art history, almost always focused on European modernity.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition Arte Negro 50+50ʺ or also known as "re-visitando Arte Negro" held at the Museo de Historia del Arte (MUHAR) in Montevideo from October 5 to November 15, 2019.
