In this short course we will explore artistic practices that bring into view structures that have been able to pass as invisible. Through a range of relevant resources, we will question how race is understood as something more than skin – and the ways in which class and gender norms are reinforced.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore works on display at Tate in conversation with invited speakers. With a range of activities on offer, we will learn how to read emblematic practices through their form, technique, and contributions to art history.
The course will consider how precarity affects Black artists and cultural producers entering institutional spaces. We will touch on how this point of periphery can be transformative in fostering collective and alternative practices.
Inspired by Black feminist traditions, the course aims to start a dialogue that everyone can take part in. The course is open to all regardless of education level and knowledge.
Led by Assistant Curator Ese Onojeruo the course will feature guest speakers, Rianna Jade Parker, Rosa Johan Uddoh, Dr Anjalie Dala-Clayton and Jemma Desai.
