ART_HIST 460 Studies in 20th & 21st Century Art- “Create Dangerously”: Contemporary Caribbean Art
This course examines the work and role of contemporary Caribbean artists who use their practices to address, to intervene into, crises facing the region.Whether calling attention to climate change, state violence, LGBTQ rights, racism, sexism, colonialism, national insecurity, service and servitude industries or systems of monetary debt and finance, artists engage regional issues that are increasingly urgent in many parts of the world.We will read work by a number of scholars, including Edwidge Danticat, Deborah Thomas, Gina Athena Ulysse, and Monique Allewart.
