Collage Art in Racial Discrimination

Hi writer,
I have the other assignment, I list the assignment requirement for you.
Throughout the semester, as you are reading, watching, and listening to class material, think about how the historical patterns discussed are reflected in issues, conflicts, injustices, etc. in our current moment. In the most creative way possible, illustrate your understanding of the connections between past and present understandings and injustices fueled by racism. This includes intersectional oppression. In other words, come up with an alternative media form rather than a written depiction – this is called an UnEssay.
This assignment is an exercise in constructing a coherent visual statement. This means that you will have to make decisions about what points you want to cover.
Allow the following questions to guide the development of your illustration/artistic statement:
-What aspect of the current moment will you discuss? Select 1 or 2 key issues or representative events
-Select specific historical patterns to discuss and connect to the current moment
-Try to be as synthetic as possible. Address how ideas/factors/events/etc. are related and to one another versus treating them separately
You should have a minimum of 12 references. Up to 6 should be class readings/videos/podcasts. 6 should be from non-academic sources. The center of the UnEssay project this semester is based on a few characteristics: students choose their own topics, they present it in any way they choose, and we ( TA, Bea) evaluate based on how compelling it is. The idea is to break away from the traditional essay and encourage students to take a different approach to the assignment. It requires some creativity.
An important note about the UnEssay is that you can turn in the most creative thing, but if you don’t fully answer the prompt, we can’t give you full credit. Fully responding to the prompt is the most important aspect for the UnEssay.
To fully complete this assignment, you must also include an explanation of your project, which serves to help clarify and illustrate how you answered the prompt. A good way to think about this explanation is to think of the plaques that accompany pieces in museums. A good refresher for these plaques’ content can be found for free, and virtually, would be on Google Arts and Culture exhibit.
Your explanation must be 3-4 paragraphs.
A few examples of an UnEssay*:
-Podcast
-Painting
-Video
-Stream (on Twitch, YouTube, etc.)
-Song
-Collage
-TikTok Posts
