We don’t know how to read contemporary art. Informed by hierarchically embedded narratives of the global, current frameworks to read contemporary art are spatially and temporally locked. Mansi Kashatria instead identifies the existence of deep trenches between institutional, curatorial, and artistic practices, and presents a register of radical nuisances that are attentive to hierarchies arranging people and knowledges. Exposing the dangers of digging into the past to rescue the future, the volume follows two institutions: Konsthall C in Stockholm and Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Kerala. In doing so, it reveals those languages that break the assumed wholeness of the global and tell us from where and for whom we reimagine and re-exist.

Mansi Kashatria, born in 1993, is an interdisciplinary researcher based in Sweden and India. She is a double postgraduate in ethnic and migration studies from REMESO, Linköping University and in development studies, from Azim Premji University, India. Her research focuses on sociology of art, especially in building critical and decolonial perspectives on contemporary art and its institutions.
