ARTH 400 Advanced Seminar in Art Historical Methods: Black Women and Art in Canada

• Mondays, 11:45 pm – 2:15 pm
• EV 3.760
• Instructor: Dr. Joana Joachim

Canada’s Black visual art and exhibition milieu has largely been led by the work of Black women across the country for several decades. In this course, students will consider some of the leading figures in art history as they relate to the topic of Black Women and Art in Canada. This course will examine the cultural contributions by Black diasporic women and think critically about the disciplines of museology, curating and art history. Through readings, museum visits, screenings, discussions and case studies we will consider how Black women in Canada have developed a rich cultural milieu filling ongoing institutional gaps in art history.
