  • Art in America the EPIC BANAL
    Art in America THE EPIC BANAL BY: Amy Sherald, Tyler Mitchell May 7, 2021 10:08am Tyler Mitchell: Untitled (Blue Laundry Line), 2019. Amy Sherald (https://www.artnews.com/t/amy-sherald/): A Midsummer Afternoon Dream, 2020, oil on canvas, 106 by 101 inches. Tyler Mitchell and Amy Sherald—two Atlanta-born, New York–based artists—both capture everyday joy in their images of Black Americans. Recurring motifs in Mitchell’s photographs, installations, and videos include outdoor space and fashionable friends. Sherald, a painter, shares similar motifs: her colorful paintings with pastel palettes show Black people enjoying American moments, their skin painted in grayscale, the backgrounds and outfits flat. Both are best known for high-profile portrait commissions: in 2018 Mitchell became the first Black photographer to have a work grace the cover of Vogue. That shot of Beyoncé was followed, more recently, by a portrait of Kamala Harris for the same publication. Michelle Obama commissioned Amy Sherald to paint her portrait, and last year Vanity Fair asked Sherald to paint Breonna Taylor for a cover too. Below, the artists discuss the influence of the South on their work, and how they navigate art versus commercial projects. —Eds. Amy Sherald: Precious jewels by the sea, 2019, oil on canvas, 120 by 108 inches. TYLER MITCHELL: Amy, we spoke before about finding freedom and making your own moments of joy. I think of Precious jewels by the sea [2019]—your painting of two couples at the beach, showing the men standing with the women on their shoulders—as a moment that you constructed.

  • BLACK LIVES MATTER and BLACK POWER By
    BLACK LIVES MATTER AND BLACK POWER by Daviana Fraser A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Studies Charlotte 2021 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Richard Leeman ______________________________ Dr. Jason Edward Black ______________________________ Dr. Janaka Lewis ii ©2021 Daviana Fraser ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT DAVIANA FRASER. Black Lives Matter and Black Power. Under the direction of DR. RICHARD LEEMAN Today, Black Americans face the same foes as in previous efforts to secure civil rights. Over the last decade, names like Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Keith Lamont Scott, Philando Castile, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor join those of Emmett Till, Rodney King and countless others as causalities of white supremacy. This recurrence has ignited and unified a generation of activists through the phrase “Black Lives Matter.” The Black Lives Matter movement, like the Black Power movement, has named Blackness as a nexus for racial equity. For both movements, the specification of Blackness responded to a need to differentiate the experiences of Black people under racial oppression from others and binds members of this oppressed community to one another. In juxtaposition, both movements also trace the progression of Black centered social justice efforts led by and for members of the Black community who identify with the use of justified anger against injustice. These movements serve as critiques of the mainstream Civil Rights Movement and the ways that its leaders prioritized the feelings and permissions of white people. The objective of this thesis is to conduct a comparative analysis of Black Power and Black Lives Matter in order to better understand the rhetorical strategies of the latter, contemporary movement.

The number of American ser- vice members in the country was officially reduced to 2,500 in the final days of the Trump adminis- tration — the lowest level since the start of the war — but the number actually dropped to around 3,500, the newspaper re- ported Sunday. The difference is the result of some special operations forces being “off the books” and some temporary and transitioning units being in theater, the report said.
