Art History Faculty and Alum Collaborate on New Anthology

Art history professor Clement Akpang contributed an essay to The Routledge Companion to Art and the Formation of Empire, edited by Corcoran alum Emily C. Burns (MA Art History ’05). Akpang’s chapter, “Beyond the Modernist Canon of Involuntary Aesthetic Colonization: Aina Onabolu’s Mimicry as Rejection of Colonial Anti-modernity, 1900–1930,” explores the Nigerian artist’s challenge to colonial narratives in early 20th-century art.
