The Other Story

'The Other Story' was a polemical intervention in what Araeen saw as the exclusive canon of Euro-American Modernism. Taking up the entire exhibition space of London’s Hayward Gallery from November 1989 to February 1990, 'The Other Story' was a rare and visible showcase for the work of 24 artists of Asian, African, or Caribbean cultural heritage who had lived and worked for a significant part of their professional lives in post-war Britain.

AAA started digitising Araeen's archive since 2014, making available documentation of the exhibition project 'The Other Story' and the related contextual material.

Related talk was featured in Asia Art Archive's one of 15 Invitations programmes: Property, Protest, Commons, and the Alternative Economies of Art. Presented by AAA Head of Research & Programmes
Hammad NASAR.
