The New Black Vanguard, Grades 9-12

Updated Jan 14, 2022

Grades Ninth – Twelfth Writing Special Exhibition

Students will learn how young, Black image-makers seize control of their representation to broaden the spectrum of Black experience in photography — complicating a limiting view of Blackness historically shaped by the white gaze. Students will also explore how to use art as a tool for revolution and change, and to challenge society's representation of beauty.
