Reading List: RELATIONS

  • Article
  • PHI Foundation
By  PHI

The Education and Curatorial teams of the PHI Foundation have compiled a non-exhaustive bibliography with some of the material that inspired and informed our research for RELATIONS: Diaspora and Painting. This list includes academic essays, seminal books on diaspora studies, poetry, fiction, and more. We hope that these multiple perspectives will allow you to reflect on our exhibition, as well as on diasporic experiences.
