This class examines how landscape has influenced meaning and aesthetics in African American art of the South, and how place influences aesthetics and the “mapping” of expressive work as part of an African diasporic tradition in the Americas. This one-session class will include a tour with the instructor of the special exhibition Cosmologies from the Tree of Life: Art from the African American South.
