Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay explores Afro-Colombian artist Oscar Murillo’s practice and process as an instance of ‘fantastic critique’. Animated by an ongoing exchange between the artist and the author about art & human rights, trade and place, protest and action, including the 2021 General strike in Colombia, it aims to situate emerging notions of justice in the intersection between artistic practices and ethical-political acts, asking if and how art can engage with questions of the violence of race and class in the twenty-first century.
期刊介绍:
Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
