This thought-provoking book presents art and ideas hailing from the former Soviet Union, focusing on artists from Central Asia and the Caucasus and reflecting on the USSR’s complex relationship with the Arab world, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey during and after the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The text functions as a form of bricolage, uniting punk strategies with the critical study of Orientalism and its historical associations with imperialism. Examining history as a conduit for revisionist thinking and rebellion, Punk Orientalism appeals to those readers interested in revolutionary practices in contemporary art.
