OUT OF THE SUN
On Art, Race, and the Future
2021 Massey Lecture by two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize winner and internationally bestselling author Esi Edugyan.
OUT OF THE SUN: On Art, Race, and the Future, is an incisive analysis of the relationship between race and art. History is a construction. What happens when we begin to consider stories at the margins, when we grant them centrality? How does that complicate our certainties about who we are, as individuals, as nations, as human beings? Through the lens of visual art, literature, film, and the author's lived experience, Out of the Sun examines the depiction of Black histories in art, offering new perspectives to challenge the accepted narrative.
Spanning from classical European paintings to the film Black Panther, Edugyan delivers an insightful analysis of the representation of Black people in art, and what happens when we center stories at the margins of history.
Esi Edugyan is author of the novels Washington Black, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne, and Half-Blood Blues, which won the Scotiabank Giller Prize and was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award, the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and the Orange Prize.
