Art & Identity Politics, 1965 to Present – Online Course
Course Code: OC2302AH05 Tutor: Dr Oriana Fox Course Dates: Tuesdays, 20th February - 19th March 2024 Days: 5 Times: 6 - 8pm Experience Level: All Levels Fee: £115 Location: Online Recommend booking before: Tuesday 30th January 2024 £115.00This new course explores the impact of identity politics on the practice and curation of visual art from 1965 to the present.
We’ll be taking a closer look at artworks informed by feminism, anti-racism, post-colonialism, class and labour advocacy, LGBTQ+ and disability rights as well as their intersections. These works often represent the artist’s authentic life experiences to counter and interrogate stereotypes, leading to innovations in both the subject matter and form of art.
Such innovations also include the varied forms of activist art, direct action and public intervention aimed at combatting the systematic exclusion of minorities from culture. Activism has informed the re-writing of art history, the curation of exhibitions and the expansion of collections.Though ‘identity politics’ is a contentious term, students will examine its origins and the contemporary intersectional politics that follow on from it, moving beyond the tokenism that merely extends existing canons, aiming instead to question the very value systems that underpin them.

This is where photographs come in; they broaden our radius of inspiration far beyond our immediate surroundings but it can be hard to make satisfying drawings from them. During this course you will explore a range of ways to work from and with photographs. You will learn techniques for drawing with accuracy as well as ways to breathe life into your drawings as wel as being given a chance to experiment with the types of drawings you want to make.
Sometimes you will need physical copies of the photographs you want to work from (please see component sheet for details). If you don’t have access to a printer you may want to cut some out of newspapers or magazines. You don’t need to work from your own photographs however we would recommend trying to snap photographs in the week running up to the course of people/scenes/objects that inspire you.
