The question of decolonising our relationship with the art around us is quickly gaining traction. People are questioning the history of the world's art collections and the position of the museum in the future. In ‘The Whole Picture', art historian and 'Uncomfortable Art Tour' guide Alice Procter provides a manual for deconstructing everything we thought to know about art, and fills in the blanks with the stories that have been left out of the art history canon for centuries.
