ART 320 - Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Contemporary Art (1960 to present)

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
This course will use an intersectional lens to explore the representation of race, gender, and sexuality in art from 1960 to the present, focusing primarily on the United States. We will query the exclusionary foundations of the art historical canon and analyze artwork in relation to factors such as marginalization, identity (de)construction, activism, the public/private spheres, and trauma and memory. Special attention will be given to art often omitted from dominant art historical narratives, notably work by female, LGBTQ, black, and Latinx artists. (U) Occasionally
