- Reimagining Representation

Catalog description

An interdisciplinary studio course providing an exploration of contemporary artists working across intersectional practices to challenge dominant narratives through a decolonial framework. By reflecting on current issues surrounding race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, ability, and class, students will work to understand their positionality as artists, positing ethical questions of making, appropriation, and collaboration. Students will complete studio projects that synthesize conceptual and material approaches using expanded drawing practices, print media, digital media, photography, and video, all of which welcome the integration of any 2D or 3D artwork. We will utilize art criticism, theory, literature, and popular culture to analyze the power dynamics of representation through readings and discussion.
