identify two examples of racial or indigenous visual protest (I chose Kaepernick’s kneeling protest and the 1968 Olympics black power salute protest, where two athletes held up black power fists at an awards ceremony) that will help to support, deepen, and nuance your visual analysis. Some questions to give the paper direction:
1. Historical and cultural context: How are Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and/or Arab/ Middle Eastern organizers and/or cultural creators working through and against visual symbols and hierarchies shaped by white supremacist and settler colonial histories?
Cultural interventions and reworking: What kinds of new possibilities for collective consciousness, cultural re-imagining, and social change do they introduce through their work?
Visual strategies: What kinds of visual strategies are used by the organizer or cultural creator?
Two sources:
*One chapter* from this book, no need to read the whole thing: https://monoskop.org/images/a/a5/Fanon_Frantz_Black_Skin_White_Masks_1986.pdf
And *One chapter* from this book (no need to read the whole thing:
https://monoskop.org/images/9/9e/Berger_John_Ways_of_Seeing.pdf
use these as preliminary guides to historicize and analyze the visual examples.
6 sources: Greater elaboration on the specific histories, contexts, issues, and strategies addressed by your visual examples.
4 of them must be scholarly peer reviewed articles, the other two don’t have to be shcolarly/peer reviewed.
