Lernziele / Kompetenzen	Introduction to concepts such as Black Art, Afropolitanism, Post-Black, Afropessimism and African-American Art since the early 2000s
Inhalte	How to make sense of the term "post-black" that has stirred so much controversy in the early 2000s in the U.S. context sixteen years past its invention? The term was used for a generation of black artists that seemed to distance themselves from previous generations who utilized the term "black" to define their practices as a definition of self and as a form of political resistance. Through recent activist work (i.e. Black Lives Matter) and media attention to persistent systemic racism as well as the rise of rightwing populism, “post-black” appears more than obsolete and is seldom used in the arts or in wider social discourse. This course will introduce key terms and debates such as Black Art, Afropolitanism, Post-Black, Afropessimism and African-American Art since the early 2000s. Moreover, it will discuss if "post-black" can be determined as a style through examples such as Hank Willis Thomas, Leslie Hewitt, Mark Bradford, Mickalene Thomas and others. Nana Adusei-Poku (PhD) is an independent scholar, writer and educator as well as guest lecturer at the Zurich University of the Arts. She received her PhD from Humboldt University Berlin for her thesis on post-black art within the graduate program “Gender as a category of Knowledge”.
