In the wake of failed states, growing economic and political inequality, and the ongoing US- and NATO-led wars for resources, security, and economic dominance worldwide, contemporary artists are revisiting former European colonies, considering past injustices as they haunt the living yet remain repressed in European consciousness. T. J. Demos places contemporary art within the context of neoliberal globalization and what scholars have referred to as the “colonial present.”
