Description: From Beyoncè’s "Lemonade" to Kendrick Lamar’s “They Not Like Us,” black visual and sonic culture have defined and shaped the American cultural landscape. But how do we read and interrogate the visuals that have accompanied these sonic revolutions? From music videos to performance art, “Black Visual Culture: From Lemonade to They Not Like Us” examines the Black visual culture of the 2000s, placing contemporary modes of visual representation in dialogue with sculpture, painting and other “fine arts.” It is our priority to make this course joyous, safe, and accessible to students of all genders, sexualities, and disabilities.
