Black Visual Culture

As public interest in “Black art” has grown, there has been a concurrent increase in thinking through mediums more critically, giving rise to questions such as: What is the category of “Black art?” How does blackness appear across media or geographies? How are conceptions of gender illuminated through visual production? The Black Visual Culture working group is an interdisciplinary research group that supports graduate students interested in thinking through these critical questions in visual arts.
