Grace | 1 comments Hi it would be great if you could add this book :-)

* Title: Written by us, Not about us
* Author(s) name(s): Edited by Clare Gormley, Anna Liesching and Jane Morrow
* ISBN (or ASIN): 978-0-9555358-4-0
* Publisher: PS2
* Publication Date Year: 2024
* Page count: 69
* Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): paperback
* Description: 'Written by us, Not about us: Reclaiming Art Histories & Developing Critical Discourse in Northern Ireland and Nigeria' aims to address a particular challenge in relation to the lack of critical discourse surrounding the arts, particularly the visual arts, in Northern Ireland and Nigeria. While both countries have a strong literary tradition, this has not translated to an equally strong practice of criticism, analysis or discourse in relation to the visual arts. As a result, there is an inadequate record of our art histories and little international recognition given to contemporary art practice in each country. What does exist has too often been written about, not by us, and in most cases the vibrant and urgent work emerging from these non-arts-epicentre countries often goes unseen. This has amplified the sense of a ‘voicelessness’ often experienced by the people of colonised nations; a sense that their perspective, knowledge and cultural offering is not of significance. This project aims to rectify that by bringing together the two dominant artist support organisations of each country to deliver a collaborative programme of mentoring, commissioning and advocacy work. Embedding artist support and institutional learning at its core, over the course of a year, NIAN
Northern Irish Art Network and AAF African Artists' Foundation will work together to identify four emerging arts writers/critics from each country (eight in total); commission new writing; create platforms for the publication of work; and lobby the national and international arts press to better represent the art scenes of Nigeria and Northern Ireland.

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 9945 comments I'm sorry to say that the website provided doesn't show the information we need to be able to add the book. We need a webpage showing the (ISBN/ASIN and other) book data, not just the cover. We also need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Also, the link you provided gives a launch date of 15th March 2025 but your request says 2024.

Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. In that case follow the guidelines as per GR template ‘How to request a book to be added to Goodreads’ (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).
Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
