'Black but human' : slavery and visual art in Hapsburg Spain, 1480-1700 / by Fracchia, Carmen,author.(CARDINAL)354415;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-222) and index."'Black but Human' is the first study to focus on the visual representations of African slaves and ex-slaves in Spain during the Hapsburg dynasty. The Afro-Hispanic proverb 'Black but Human' is the main thread of the six chapters and serves as a lens through which to explore the ways in which a certain visual representation of slavery both embodies and reproduces hegemonic visions of enslaved and liberated Africans, and at the same time provides material for critical and emancipatory practices by Afro-Hispanics themselves. The African presence in the Iberian Peninsula between the late fifteenth century and the end of the seventeenth century was as a result of the institutionalization of the local and transatlantic slave trades. In addition to the Moors, Berbers and Turks born as slaves, there were approximately two million enslaved people in the kingdoms of Castile, Aragon and Portugal. The 'Black but Human' topos that emerges from the African work songs and poems written by Afro-Hispanics encodes the multi-layered processes through which a black emancipatory subject emerges and a 'black nation' forges a collective resistance. It is visually articulated by Afro-Hispanic and Spanish artists in religious paintings and in the genres of self-portraiture and portraiture. This extraordinary imagery coexists with the stereotypical representations of African slaves and ex-slaves by Spanish sculptors, engravers, jewelers, and painters mainly in the religious visual form and by European draftsmen and miniaturists, in their landscape drawings and sketches for costume books."--Introduction -- 1.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 242-245) and index.'In Search of African American Space' explores the relationship between the African diaspora and contemporary spatial practice from multiple critical vantages in order to locate a transhistorical moment in the afterlife of slavery. Traditional notions of space are challenged as the analyses in this volume transcend discipline, deriving from architecture, performance art, history, and visual theory. Richly illustrated and organized thematically, the anthology, edited by Jeffrey Hogrefe and Scott Ruff, is divided into two sections. The first is dedicated to an aspect of practice that has operated outside of the academy. Contributions by architects of arguably the first generation to work in the discourse of the African diaspora are featured. These architects are conscious of performances typologies of opposition that have emerged from the slave-ship hold, slave plantation quarters, and urban 'slum/ghetto' as they seek to define, interpret, and design African American art, architecture, and public space. In the second section, quotidian practices are rendered significant as expressions of culture, aesthetics, and political activism. The transformation of space is an act of autonomy. Making African American spatial practices present is vital in this volume for to allow their absence, denial, or erasure is to allow the lingering effects of slavery to manifest as part of the contemporary condition.

A Nation Takes Place : navigating race and water in contemporary art / by Minnesota Marine Art Museum,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)350031; Gardner, Tia-Simone,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899071; Griffin, Shana M.,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899070; Gumbs, Alexis Pauline,1982-contributor.(CARDINAL)853800; Johnson, Jessica Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)889864; King, Tiffany Lethabo,1976-contributor.(CARDINAL)899069; McKittrick, Katherine,contributor.(CARDINAL)877909; Osbey, Brenda Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)899068; Pollock, Scott,contributor.(CARDINAL)899067; Sharkey, Erin,contributor.(CARDINAL)867841; University of Minnesota.Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)855718;
Includes bibliographical references."Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website."The Western formation of what has become the Americas was born through water. The metaphorical birth of a nation, nor its often violent formation, is a one time event. It is a process of taking, extracting, and dispossessing. Take -- a verb, to lay hold of, to displace things, or people, from where they belong. Nation-building makes property of things, things that were once unpossessable -- land, humans, and water. A Nation Takes Place looks at the many ways artists draw critical attention to the connection between water and nation, water and sovereignty, and water and reimagined ecologies. We look again at the convention of maritime art with an eye toward the ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession and extraction. A Nation Takes Place draws together a transnational collection of artwork , representing a variety of mediums - in an effort to unpack the ways artists help us comprehend the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slaveships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, there are histories that have been erased, histories that remain inaccessible to language, and histories resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place help us to fill in the spaces where words cannot. Located near the headwaters of the largest watershed in America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, Minnesota) is an ideal space to stage a project like this. With its commitment to creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water and organizational responsibility to reframe the portrayal of marine art in ways that give narrative equity to Black and Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from a mix of historic works and archives from a variety of museum collections, contemporary work courtesy of the artists, some emerging, some established, and some newly commissioned for the exhibition, this project centers on artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American marine art." -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-23.Exhibited: "A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art," curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, presented by The Minnesota Marine Art Museum with support from The Mellon Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, the National Endowment For the Arts, and Terra Foundation for American Art, August 24, 2024-March 2, 2025.
