Barbara Jones-Hogu: Resist, Relate, Unite

Chicago-based artist Barbara Jones-Hogu (1938–2017) was a central figure of the Black Arts Movement and a founding member of the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists (AfriCOBRA).

The publication features texts by art historian Rebecca Zorach, Tate Modern Curator of International Art Zoe Whitley, and artist Faheem Majeed, as well as 22 illustrated plates, a selected bibliography, and exhibition history.
