About Things Loved: Blackness and Belonging @BAMPFA
This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring
the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical
(film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and
those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the
political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements
supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the
artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw
unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!
Scholars Cheryl Finley, Ph.D. and Leigh Raiford, Ph.D., join
us to talk about "Blackness & Belonging at BAMPFA, Dr. Finley's book,
"Committed to Memory: The Art of the Slave Ship Icon", the Year of
Return and the 400th Anniversary of the first enslaved Africans landing at Ft.
Comfort, Virginia, August 1619.
The show co-curated by Leah at BAMPFA closes this weekend. Try to get by. We rebroadcast an interview with two women scholars and friends Cheryl Finley and Leah this morning.
