The Institute of African American Affairs + Center for Black Visual Culture Activism: the Artist/Scholar & Social Practice
The Institute of African American Affairs + Center for Black Visual Culture Activism: The Artist/Scholar & Social Practice FALL 2018 Cover image: Chillin’ with Lady Liberty, Renee Cox, 1998 The Institute of African American Affairs (IAAA) and Center for Black Visual Culture (CBVC) at New York University are both interdisciplinary spaces for students, faculty, post-doc fellows, artists, scholars and the general public. Founded in 1969, IAAA’s mission continues to research, document, and celebrate the cultural and intellectual production of Africa and its diaspora in the Atlantic world and beyond with a commitment to the study of Blacks in modernity through concentrations in Pan- Africanism and Black Urban Studies. The CBVC, expanding on that mission, is a space for scholarly and artistic inquiry (framing and reframing) into the understanding and exploration of images focusing on black people globally with critical evaluation of images in multiple realms of culture, including how various archives and the development of visual technologies affect the construction of representations. The goals of IAAA and CBVC converge to promote and encourage collaborative research projects, experimental learning and open spaces to the larger community for broad and thematic discussions through various, diverse and dynamic public programming and initiatives by way of conferences, lectures, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, readings, performances, visiting scholars, artist residencies and publications. 2 Activism: The Artist/Scholar & Social Practice Citizenship and rights are topics and perhaps “conditions” that countries have always had to be engaged and struggled with over time. Who is allowed to enter and become a citizen with rights and which rights are given to certain citizens are now more than ever at the forefront on the global stage.
