Join us in discovering Black and Hispanic and other artists of color in this contemporary moment. We will learn how, with the end of distinct art movements such as Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop and Post-Modernism, these artists found new and increased freedom to create. With New York no longer the center of the art world, artists flourish in Africa, South America, Japan and elsewhere. Hispanic and Black artists, the latter in particular, now make up a disproportionate slice of the best contemporary artists around. Get to know these trailblazers.
Format: Class members will give weekly presentations, as will the coordinators, who will also lead discussions.
Resources/Expenses: The coordinators may suggest reading material and online resources. Access to a computer and the internet is essential as is access to a library. No expenses anticipated.
