Quotes by Okwui Enwezor  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The formation of a diaspora could be articulated as the quintessential journey into becoming; a process marked by incessant regoupings, recreations, and reiteration. Together these stressed actions strive to open up new spaces of discursive and performative postcolonial consciousness.”
Okwui Enwezor

“The notions of hybridity, metissage, cosmopolitanism have been deployed and reworked in order to capture the polycentric and polysemic aspects of these new configurations.”
Okwui Enwezor
