Artist, researcher and arts educator with a multi-disciplinary research praxis focused on exploring epistemologies of art. Her praxis includes making artworks that critically engage with the discourses and institutions of art as well as theorising modernist and contemporary African artworks that challenge inherited, western discourses of art. These interests are brought into her teaching through what and how she teaches university students, as well as the educational work that Alison does with diverse audiences in the Wits Art Museum.
