YOUNG VOICES

Does 'Black Art' Exist?
by Tamika Thompson


 

If 'Black Art' does exist, then what is it? If 'Black Art' doesn't exist, then can there be a Black art exhibit or a Black art gallery?

The Laband Art Gallery at L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University invited a group of LMU students to discuss these and other questions by holding a symposium at the gallery's exhibit called "Gallery 32 and Its Circle." The exhibit honored a late 1960s-era art gallery with art pieces from mostly African American artists.

I attended the symposium to look at the art work and to get the students' take on the concept of 'Black Art.' Check out the video from my visit.
