Visualizing Blackness

Herbert F. Johnson Museum, New York

A Conference to be held in Conjunction with The Exhibition BLACKNESS IN COLOR: Visual Expressions of the Black Arts Movement (1960-Present) At The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art

Celebrating Thirty Years of Africana Studies at Cornell University Funded by a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, this conference is scheduled to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University. The conference will be attended by scholars, artists, curators and other experts in the field of African American, African Diaspora art and visual cultures. The conference will focus on the visual expressions of the Black Arts Movement in the United States from the 1960s to the present. However, this topic will serve as a springboard for an intellectual exchange on current issues related to African American, African Diaspora art and visual cultures. The conference will take a critical look at the role of art in activism and the community as spearheaded by the Black Arts Movement in the aftermath of the Black Power and civil rights movements.

The conference will also deal with emerging discourses in the field of Black art and visual culture and their intersections with issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality. The proceedings of the conference will be published as a book in collaboration with a major publisher.

THE CONFERENCE IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
