Abstract/Artist's Statement
Senior Project submitted to The Division of Arts of Bard College.
This body of work, submitted to Bard College’s Division of Art History and Visual Culture, serves to add to the zeitgeist of authors and artist who oppose the previously circulated narrative of African Americans: Their histories, their cultural heritage, their place in American society, and the effects of the presupposed White narrative that has been imposed on the Black body. I will be focusing on African American artists of the twentieth-century, who have shown their dedication and activism through their work, to dismantle the fascist structure of the American museum, and in turn, American society as we know it.
