Okwui Enwezor is widely regarded as a leader among the brilliant curators who emerged in the 1990s to set agendas for understanding the global expansiveness of contemporary art. Among his pathfinding exhibitions were the second Johannesburg Biennial (1997), the paradigm-shifting Documenta 11 (2002), Archive Fever (2008), and Postwar (2016). In addition to his groundbreaking curatorial work, Enwezor was also a prolific critic, essayist, and theorist. Selected Writings -a landmark two-volume set-brings together Enwezor's most influential and foundational works. Spanning a quarter-century, these selections reflect the depth and breadth of Enwezor's writing and its role in his tireless efforts to decolonize the art world. Volume 1, Toward a New African Art Discourse , includes fifteen essays written between 1994 and 2006, while Volume 2, Curating the Postcolonial Condition , includes seventeen essays written between 2006 and 2019. Drawn from exhibition catalogs, art journals, interviews with artists, art reviews, curatorial statements, historical studies, and book chapters, these texts show Enwezor striving to fulfil the two main ambitions that drove his career: to found and sustain what he called a "New African Art Discourse" and to enable a critical, diasporic imagining of postcoloniality that would become pervasive within global art discourse. Demonstrating that his writing helped fulfill these goals, Selected Writings reaffirms Enwezor's status as a transformational figure in the global contemporary art world.
