Equally important was his decades-long commitment to visual art. As the first collection to bring together Hall's work on the visual, this volume assembles two dozen of Hall's essays, lectures, reviews, catalog texts, and conversations on art, film, and photography. Providing rare insights into Hall's engagement with the \"radically different\" intellectual and aesthetic space of the visual imaginary, these works articulate the importance of the visual as a site of contestation at the same time as it is a space in which Black artists and filmmakers reframe questions about diaspora, identity, and globalization. \u003ci\u003eSelected Writings on Visual Arts and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the breadth and range of Hall's thinking on art, film, photography, archives, and museums. In so doing, it enables us to arrive at radical and innovative ways of understanding the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStuart Hall (1932-2014) was one of the most prominent and influential scholars and public intellectuals of his generation.
