Artslant reviews Waswo X. Waswo’s “Confessions of an Evil Orientalist”

Comprising staged photographs, contemporary miniatures, installation and text-based art, “Confessions of an Evil Orientalist” seeks to problematise the uncritical perception and assimilation of roles and identity. The exhibition challenges the status quo by morphing and forging these same sacrosanct roles and identities through a series of impersonations, which themselves subvert these roles. Amjad Majid, who also helped in developing a 3D model for the exhibition, reviews the show in Artslant.
