Join This is a Black Spatial Imaginary for an open forum discussion with The Black School co-administers Joseph Cuillier and Shani Peters. Based in New York City, The Black School is an experimental art school that uses a socially engaged proactive art practice and Black history to educate Black/PoC students and allies on how to become radical agents of social and political change. In their visit to This is a Black Spatial Imaginary, Cuillier and Peters will share an overview of The Black School’s work to date and offer context to their collaborative work through discussion of their individual practices. The later half of the talk will be an open model inviting Portland based artists, educators, and community members to participate in a dialogue around the needs of student’s and educators alike as they relate to art and blackness in general, and to the histories of Black radical education and aesthetics in particular.
