Published by CHELSEA space to coincide with the exhibition 'Re-Recordings: The African-Caribbean, Asian & African Art in Britain Archive' curated by Liz Ward, London, 24th June - 17th July 2015. The African-Caribbean, Asian & African Art in Britain Archive was established by Liz Ward at Chelsea College of Art & Design Library thirty years ago to document the work of young Black British artists who were confronting the prevailing orthodoxies of institutional structures. The exhibition provides an opportunity to investigate the records of exhibitions and associated events that were produced at the time, and demonstrates the continuing importance of documenting the practice and theory of Black visual art.The structure of the exhibition relates in part to the publication Recordings, a select bibliography of African-Caribbean, Asian & African Art in Britain compiled by Melanie Keen and Liz Ward and published in 1996 by InIVA in collaboration with Chelsea College of Arts.
