        Farewell to Post-Colonialism: Querying the Guwangzhou Triennial 2008,

        Sarat Maharaj

        Printed Project Issue 11 2009

        ISSN 16494075

      2. A special issue on the 3rd Guangzhou Triennial (2008), curated by Sarat Maharaj, entitled Farewell to Post-Colonialism, this journal issue functions as a catalog for the Triennial, which tried to explore global shifts in ‘mapping post-western modernity’ with a key argument that the consequences of post-colonialism have yet to be fully realized and are thus not ‘behind us’ or ‘post’ but rather present in their impact and enduring influence. The issue includes texts and artistic contributions. See in particular the Postcolonial South/South network map (page 9) in Maharaj’s text, Ulrich Beck Risk Society’s ‘Cosmopolitan’ Moment, and Paul Gladstone Critical Reflections on the Staging of the Third Guangzhou Triennial, Farewell to Post-Colonialism: Towards a Post-West Society?.
