Let Me Get There Safely
“So, my dear, what brings you here to me?”

Art and Institutional Racism
Why is the history of modern art only about the work of White/European artists? This question is not rhetorical, but about the reality of Eurocentric legacies of colonialism and racism, which not only sees artists of Asian and African origins as outside of art history but also excludes them from it. In this pioneering work, Art & Institutional Racism, Rasheed Araeen reveals how Asian, African and the Caribbean artists in Britain have challenged this exclusion.
Their work not only confronts the Eurocentricity of art history but also redefines modernism and its art history. And in doing so it aims to liberate art from Eurocentrism and also society as a whole from its lingering imperialism.

Gorgeous Giraffe
A giraffe gives birth to her calf on the wide-open spaces of the African savannah. The calf’s grandfather, a little hard of hearing, misunderstands when one of the females comments on her gorgeous eyelashes. And so, ‘gorgeous’ she became. None could have known at the time just how special this calf would turn out to be.
Another calf was born two days earlier, and the two become fast friends, exploring the savannah and meeting other animals and birds. Some make them chuckle, some make them nervous, and others, like the elephants and lions, fill them with respect.
As the calves grow and begin to feed from the leaves of the trees, Gorgeous exhibits an unusual skill—one that will one day put her in danger. Now, her father must come up with a plan to keep his calf safe and free to roam the savannah.

The Dog That Ate Its Tail
A journey beyond the heart of dullness, beyond the mundane and frivolous cries of everyday drama. The essentials ingredients of love, hate, betrayal, and vengeance are present, but do not digress and imagine what these sprightly tales mean cliches, for these Shakespearean diving boards are the foundations for all art. It is a piece of work inspired by the modern life; life that is lived at such a speed that it has become perilous to stop. A life loaded with eccentricities and demands for perfection.
The civilisation that has conjured such divine torment has been sent up the river, beyond the heart of darkness and into the light that is reflected in the eyes mirror. It searches the mechanism of existence and measures the speed at which hope moves through the heart. The tragic humour of insight has been twisted into stories that can be carried about in the head and snacked upon at random.
