摘要：In the field of art history, critical modes of inquiry prompt the production of new areas of analysis and discovery. Black feminist thought, African art and curatorial history, for instance, offer models for reinterpreting the experiences of hidden and marginalised voices that tend to be overlooked. For women artists and scholars of African descent, the lack of critical artist voices in art-historical scholarship is often detrimental – perpetuating the ways in which communities of colour feel excluded from knowledge production. In this regard, scholars across interdisciplinary fields have proposed artist interviews to be important strategies for documenting and re-narrating art-historical narratives (Jordan; Kreamer; Obrist; Walker; Whitehead). In this article, the researcher will analyse audio/audio-visual recordings and transcripts of interviews with African American artists conducted for narrative inquiry, oral history and documentary film. The paper assesses the potential for artist interviews to be sites for reframing, reclaiming and rewriting art histories by women artists of African descent.
