English | German


Allana Clarke is a Trinidadian-American artist whose practice contends with ideas of Blackness and the binding nature of bodily signification. Fluidly moving through sculptural and text-based work, photo­graphy, video and performance, she explores the possibility to create new, non-totalizing identifying structures. The artist looks at the ways in which she was conditioned through rituals into a world that is anti-Black. This publication is Clarke’s first monograph and provides a comprehensive overview of her work to date.
