a sense of ownership over this domestic space. Rather than letting the kitchen (table) be a place of restriction, Weems has made it into a place of fullness, vibrancy and importance. The photographs are just technically and compositionally gorgeous as well. (2/2) #ARTH287
Weemsโ kitchen table series is so fascinating to me as an exploration of life experience occurring and being contained within one small room/location yet not necessarily feeling trapped there. In most of the photographs, Weems appears settled and almost possesses (1/2) #ARTH287
Ringgold references this in the video, mentioning that the violence she saw and experienced in the streets in the 60s was never examined in the media. This piece confronts the viewer with this continuing reality that has become so normalized, esp in white society (3/3) #ARTH287
The painting speaks to racism being a learned worldview, as the white and black child cling to each other in the melee. I also think this piece highlights that there is an ongoing, ever present race/class war occurring that people do not speak of. (2/3) #ARTH287
Ringgoldโs painting โDieโ is extremely heavy to view & process. The figuresโ expressions are stylized to portray the immense terror and pain the people are experiencing and the context for the violence is difficult to parse because of how chaotic the composition is (1/3) #ARTH287
racial categories are in a constant flux of expansion and exclusion, especially in the US today. this makes me wonder how people, black and white, would receive piperโs work now. she challenges viewers and their morality in extremely effective ways. (3/3) #ARTH287
for example, she references the existence of the โone drop rule,โ etc. affirming her black identity despite many white peers disregarding her racial identity because she is โwhite passing,โ while simultaneously imposing racial stereotypes on her. (2/3) #ARTH287
piperโs work raises myriad questions about the function of race in contemporary society, particularly in how people perceive others in interpersonal interactions. i think her work underscores how much the conception of race is social, political and ever changing. (1/3)

Linda Goode Bryant in the TateShots film reminds me of Hughes and the racial mountain; both white and black artists had an expectation of the art she'd exhibit solely because it was made by black artists. even she herself struggled with that idea #arth287
In Langston Hughes's The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, the father says to his children "Look how well a white man does things." Not all Black families were fighting to end the stereotypes and aimed to fit them instead. #arth287
Langston Hughes's The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain shows the social confines of successful poetry at the time, which led many young writers to believe you had to be White to be successful. #arth287
in "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes' description of black people who try to emulate whiteness sounds a lot like how people would describe coons today, wondering if this essay presents origins of the modern day use of the term #arth287
Fuller demonstrated the depth of individual victims, rather than just the trauma of an event itself. It reminded me of the saying 'A person is more than what has happened to them.' #arth287
I'm actually so in love with Beach's note in her essay on Meta Fuller's "Mary Turner" that she sculpted the mob w/o visual coherency, thus denying them agency. but makes me wonder how this applies to abstractions of figures, which can often seem incoherent to a viewer #arth287
Buick's assertion in her essay on Edmonia Lewis that only by cleansing ethnic identity/distancing oneself from it could colored artists gain authority was well explained but shocking; if artists of color keep their identity at the periphery, can it be truly reflected on? #arth287
Riggs' Ethnic Notions surprised me in showing how even black people performed in blackface and played caricatures of themselves in film. did they do it for money, ignoring/unaware of the harm in it, or did they believe the stereotypes that proliferated around them? #arth287
including in former union states, using art in an attempt to rewrite and create a modified history (3/3) #arth287
as idyllic and romantic and how art plays as much a role in writing our history as actual text does. This also reminded me of the daughters of the confederacy โeducationโ effort and erection of confederate statues long after the civil war ended (2/3) #arth287
As I was reading the article by Jennifer Van Horn, the fight of white southerners to maintain possession of the art created to uphold their slaveholder position during the civil war made me think back to the Rose Hill painting that falsely depicts plantations (1/3) #arth287
Carrie Mae Weemsโ complete series of artworks, From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, is a compelling piece which depicted how black people have been portrayed, treated, and caste away from society. However, somehow, the black people of America still came together. #arth287
