A wooden sculpture in Sylvia Wynter’s The Hills of Hebron

The second instalment in our series of texts newly-commissioned alongside Artes Mundi 10 is by the writer and curator Taylor Le Melle. Departing from a right-up-close reading of a pivotal passage in Sylvia Wynter’s The Hills of Hebron (1962) – the anticolonial philosopher’s only novel, set in Jamaica in the period before its liberation from British rule – Le Melle evocatively poses and provokes questions around our understandings of art-making and mis/recognition in conditions of precarity and capitalist exchange.
