HIST 270HBlack Artistry And The Archiv

Catalog

Why do we remember certain artists and forget the names of others? What is the relationship between who we remember and how the past is preserved? How do we understand the importance of preservation from the perspectives of an artist, an archivist, and a researcher? With a focus on African American art, this course will address these questions by discussing the connections between history, creativity, and the archive (broadly defined).
