Images of ordinary celebrations, primarily featuring white, privileged middle-class families posing around a table to celebrate a birthday, at the beach, amidst a barbecue, or in front of their gleaming houses. Diop thus inserts himself into worlds to which he was not invited, within the context of post-war segregated America, as if he had always been part of the picture. Shulman and Diop offer a new way to stir minds and question representations, with humor. Their performance acts as a catalyst.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omar Victor Diop | The Anonymous Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58449576264062,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/omar-victor-diop-the-anonymous-project-being-there-5526824.jpg?v=1794516582"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/collections\/omar-victor-diop.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
