Art On My Mind

'There must be a revolution in the way we see, the way we look'

In this exhilarating collection of essays, critiques and interviews, the renowned cultural critic bell hooks explores questions of producing, exhibiting and writing about art in a world of identity politics. She shares her own experience of the transformative power of art while discussing everything from education and the imagination to how art can be empowering within the Black community.

Speaking with artists such as Carrie Mae Weems and Alison Saar, and examining the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Art on My Mind is an act of cultural reclamation and of critical resistance, one which asks us all to think about art in an expansive, political and liberating way.
