Dylan Yearsley

Can buildings of empire become post-colonial space, or must we engage in iconoclasm to regain autonomy?

This manifesto provides a doctrine for engaging in practices that refuse cultural norms and attempts to redress collective memory of colonial pasts.

Through collating quotes, images, and personal musings on the subject of post-colonialism, a set of standards are revealed that may be implemented when decolonising space.
