Description: This course will explore discourses on race and their influence on artistic endeavors in modern Latin America. Examining texts from various disciplines, we will discuss how dominant ideas on race that defined national identities shaped the production and reception of art, and how artists illustrated or contested these discourses in their works. Students will learn about key theories of race, Black and indigenous artistic productions, and the role of museums in this history. This class will include field trips to local museums and galleries. Graduate students will complete two in-class presentations and a 20-25p research paper. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: HART 329.
