Note:
Borrowing the framework of "Curatorial Activism," this course examines issues of race and representation in art and art history with an emphasis on works by BIPOC artists in the United States. (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) In addition to a closer look at how race is visualized and represented in art, the course revisits major exhibitions and critical issues in curatorial practice. How does art both shape and reflect on race in the United States? How do power and privilege affect the way we express ourselves? How might art help us build more just, equitable societies? The course invites students to explore and reconsider the role of art and the artist in society.
Art historical study of a topic or period with particular emphasis on artists and the social and cultural context of their roles in the production of visual art forms. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits under different subtitles.
