Seeing Race: Visual Literacy and Black Contemporary Art
Dr. Asilia Franklin-Phipps
State University of New York, New Paltz
Tuesday, December 3, 2024
5:00 pm PST (7:00 pm CST, 8:00 pm EST)
Race is visual—although not only. Anti-racism has been taken up by institutions like mine in ways that often become incomplete gestures that are largely discursive and wholly inadequate. To consider what anti-racism might become, this presentation considers how contemporary art becomes a site of rupture toward anti-racism that is embodied, curious, political, and relational. This presentation is interested in exploring how to live (and teach and learn) with the past and present of racial violence. This living requires an ongoing practice that sees in ways that refuse dominant loops of meaning-making that are predictable and reliable. Together, we will explore how Black contemporary art performs an invitation to rupture, practicing new ways of seeing with ongoing implications on teaching and learning.
Dr. Asilia Franklin-Phipps is an assistant professor at SUNY New Paltz in the Department of Educational Studies with affiliate appointments in Art and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She is co-coordinator of the Social Justice in Educational Studies graduate program and teaches courses on popular culture, contemporary art, and race and gender. Asilia is interested in visual culture, popular culture, and pedagogy as they relate to the making and unmaking of race and gender.
