Together we will examine the ways in which African Americans have created and used visual culture to engage and debate a broad array of issues historically. Our readings and discussions will review scholarship that examines how African Americans enlisted a variety of visual media including public memorials, painting, sculpture, photography, assemblage art, print-making, quilting, and the built environment. We will explore the ways in which Black people used material and visual culture to create a set of ethics and aesthetics that nurtured and commemorated self-determination and expression while debating the meanings of community, protest, labor, politics, citizenship, Black Nationalism, gender and sexuality. Off-site visits include possible trips to Archives of American Art, an artist�s studio, and local public memorials. Kelly Quinn is an assistant professor of American Studies at Miami University in Ohio. Her research explores African American life and thought: one current project is a case study of Langston Terrace Dwellings, a modern housing project design by an African American architect for African American families in Washington, D.C. Enrollment is restricted to students accepted into the Illinois at the Phillips Collection program -- all classes are in Washington D.C. First class meeting Tuesday, September 8.
