Radical Composition

This seminar explores the radical possibilities of artistic composition that emerge through collaborative approaches to creative expression. This semester, the course will be structured around the instructor's methodology for "listening to images" and what it means to approach visual art and culture by way of sound and sonic attunement. Combining collaborative and individual assignments focused on the work of Black contemporary artists, the course encourages students to pool their respective artistic and intellectual expertise and embrace collaboration as a crucial framework for producing innovative scholarly and creative work.
