A Missing History: The Other Story Re-visited
Volume: 2 Issue No: 6 Month: 7 Year: 2010




Group Show

29th June to 24th July
Aicon Gallery, London

 

The group exhibition re-visits the seminal exhibition 'The Other Story' that closed twenty years ago in June 1990. The show features 13 artists, 11 of whom featured in the original show. 'The Other Story: Afro-Asian Artists in Post-War Britain' curated by Rasheed Araeen, opened at the Hayward Gallery on 29 November 1989. The show's premise was to present artists working in Britain with an African-Caribbean, African or Asian cultural background whose works were ignored by dominant accounts of Modernism. The exhibition subsequently toured to Wolverhampton Art Gallery and finally the Cornerhouse in Manchester where it closed on 10 June 1990.
