Outsider art reflects a territory of cultural production that gives credence to creative practices independent of formal training, recognised art movements, and current trends.

Outsider art is said to exist only because of cultural elitism and class differences where the margins are defined by the centre. Thus, outsider artists are dismissed twice: first, by those who hold status and power, and second, by the mainstream art world. Their marginalised social status, often due to mental health issues, has led to their exclusion from the world of contemporary art. This book challenges viewers to relinquish myths and stereotypes about the source of creativity and to embrace the work of self-taught creators who are compelled to express themselves in unique ways. Most importantly, they will be asked to consider the role of art institutions in shaping their views on art. This volume addresses issues of social justice, diversity, and inclusion in the art world.

AUTHOR: Linda Ranaldi has been exploring outsider art for many years, both academically and personally, while working as a writer and editor in the legal field. She has published articles in various outsider art journals. She lives in Vancouver, Canada, but is pretty sure she also lives a more extraordinary life in a parallel universe.
