Eurocentrism in art

Eurocentrism in art refers to an outlook that centers European culture and perspectives while marginalizing or ignoring the contributions and qualities of other cultures. This viewpoint often portrays European artistic traditions as superior, influencing art education, history, and museums worldwide. As a result, non-European art forms and narratives may be undervalued or misrepresented. An awareness of Eurocentrism encourages a more inclusive understanding of art, recognizing the richness and diversity of global artistic expressions and their interconnected histories. This shift fosters appreciation for all cultures’ creative contributions.
