Black Artistic Movement The Black Art movement refers to the "intense flowering" period (recognition of black) of the creativity of African-Americans that began in the mid-1960's and continued through most of the 1970's. BAM combines time and ideology with the black power movement, recognizing the concept of two American cultures. One is black and the other is white. BAM is committed to creating a unique black aesthetic that black artists create for black audiences.

The amazing era of the black art movement's black art movement has evolved the concept of influential artistic blackness that created a controversial but important organization like the Panther Party. The Black Art movement called for "a clear link between art and politics" (Smith). This movement created stereotypes and racial discrimination to create the most popular era in the history of black art, transforming it into artistic value. The relationship between black art and politics was first mentioned in a wonderful article by Larry Neil in the summer of 1968.

The black art movements began with the civil rights movement, Malcolm X and Islamic countries, and black power forces. And it usually dates from 1960 to around 1970. The movement of black power and black art is a reaction to a turbulent society. The political pattern at the time. Because racial inequality is dominant, black leaders such as Medgar · Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated, and Racial Equality Meeting, Student Nonviolence Coordination Committee, SDF Panther All parties are committed to protecting African Americans.

This course explores the emergence, development and heritage of the international black art movements. As a "spiritual sister" of the black power movement, the black art movement will try to develop a "black aesthetic" that has the potential to fundamentally change the world. In pursuing this artistic movement, which is mainly a literary movement, the course will consider the following questions: 1) What constitutes "black art" and / or "black literature"? 2) How did the Black Art movement and its practitioner do it? It expands and limits the conceptualization of "darkness", "literature", "art". 3) What is the aesthetic and theoretical resonance of the black movement in contemporary black literature? In this course, I will stop reading and listening to poetry, novels, theater, music such as Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and pursue these problems.
