Camp Name: African American & African Studies Residential Program

Program Description: The theme for this summer is Black Art: A Means of Creative Expression. The purpose of the program is to provide a setting for students to examine critical aspects of several historical and contemporary social movements such as the Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Movement, and Black Lives Matter. The course outline is divided into three parts focusing on various approaches from the visual arts, performing arts, and interactive media. First, students will explore historical movements and the way in which Black artists have been called on by political circumstances to find new language to respond to their social and cultural conditions. Second, students will conduct a research project on a current sociopolitical phenomenon (e.g. Hands Up, Don’t Shoot; I Can’t Breathe) that impacts the Black community and the global society, as well as examine how artists in various communities use their work to discuss or oppose injustice. Specifically, students will learn about the political process model, visual culture theory and issues of (mis)representation in the media. Students will also investigate youth activism through social media: meme culture, street art, dance and hip hop as tools of demonstration. Finally, students will complete three multimedia workshops. The workshops involve working with local artists to create a piece of art based on their research project and engage with digital media, photography, blogs, videography, graphics, and live broadcasting.
