This course introduces students to the praxis of art and design belonging to communities of color inside and outside of the United States. Artists, designers, architects, and writers will use comparative and relational approaches to making while respecting the distinct experiences of different communities. At the professor's discretion, students immerse themselves in local and/or global cultural dimensions of expression and produce multi-faceted works that interrupt colonial narratives. Students will engage with community stakeholders and are challenged to approach complex problems from their respective disciplines.
