Students who have taken Black Studies courses in the Fall 2016 term will use this course to realize an exhibition in the Usdan Gallery based on their work and research into the past, present and future of black lives at Bennington College. While the centerpiece of the exhibition will be the collaborative video produced in Black Studies: Black Video Division course, it will be contextualized by archival materials, props, costumes and other artifacts from the shoot. This class will collaborate with Michael Wimberly’s “Black Studies: Black Music Division” on sound work for the installation.
