Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

This class will focus on the revolutionary work of performance artists in the Diaspora and the ways in which they use the arts as a form of political dissent, dissidence, celebration, and social change. As such, we will look at the historic interrelationship between identity, social change, and the performance arts. We will consider performance artists' creative powers as consumers, producers, critics, supporters, objects, and subjects of "art" as expressed in selected examples of contemporary visual art, theatre, music, film, spoken word poetry, and other texts. (Writing-intensive.) Maximum enrollment, 20. Endsley, CL.
