It is also an exploration of the differences of impunity afforded to white and Black people, and to white and Black artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaravaggio - originally, unexpectedly - looms large: as a man who moved between spheres of exalted patronage and petty criminality; as a painter who, amid the elegant conventions of late Mannerism, forged his own style of visceral dark and light; and as an individual whose recognized genius was allowed to legitimate and excuse his violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this profound and moving debut, Yomi Sode asks: what does it mean to find oneself between worlds - to 'code-switch', adapting one's speech and manners to widely differing cultural contexts? Who is, and who isn't, allowed to be more than their origins? And what do we owe each other? What do we owe ourselves?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41056281690209,"sku":"9781802061932","price":9.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32345915.jpg?v=1737186445","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781802061932-manorism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
