4 hours Black Power and the Arts Black Power and the Arts The decade from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s was one of the most vibrant periods of political engagement and creative innovation, as artists inspired by the Black Power movement set out to develop new understandings of black aesthetics and to create forms of public art that spoke to the black community and fostered the goals of political change. In this interdisciplinary course, we will take an in-depth look at how artists working across a range of forms and media (including poetry, theatre and performance, fiction, visual arts, music, and film) responded to the demand for politically engaged art. While the course focuses on creative work and political writing from the Black Power era, we will also examine later scholarly critiques and assessments of the Black Arts Movement.
