Postcolonial art refers to creative works that emerge in response to the cultural, political, and social impacts of colonialism. It often explores themes of identity, displacement, and resistance, reflecting the experiences of those from formerly colonized nations. Artists use various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and performance, to challenge dominant narratives and reclaim their histories. This art movement is influenced by various cultural traditions and often incorporates elements from indigenous practices. Notable postcolonial artists include Yinka Shonibare and El Anatsui, who address issues of globalization and cultural hybridity. Their works encourage dialogue about power dynamics and the legacies of colonialism.
