From The New School:<\/p>\n
Two generations after the passing of American icon Romare Bearden in 1988, The New School\u2019s Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy<\/strong> and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics<\/strong>, the Romare Bearden Foundation<\/strong>, and The Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University Newark<\/strong> combine forces to examine Bearden\u2019s legacy under three distinct lenses: the impact of his activist work, especially his prints; the role of music in both his practice at large and the activist projects; and the resonance of his oeuvre in contemporary art making.<\/p>\nThe multi-tier initiative <\/strong>In Common: Romare Bearden and New Approaches to Art, Race & Economy<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>consists of a three-day symposium, an exhibition, and a forthcoming publication.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nFeaturing contemporary creative works and perspectives from socially-conscious, politically engaged BIPOC artists and commentators, the symposium will draw on Bearden\u2019s activist legacy to spotlight the potent, yet still-too-rarely-acknowledged relationships between race, culture, economy, and the Common Good.<\/p>\n
Through plenary discussions, live performances, and a striking new exhibition, we will investigate the themes of purposeful creativity, the artist as activist, BIPOC leadership in creative culture and economy, and much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Join us to explore the intersections of art, culture, race, and economy, with a strong focus on engagement and action for social change.<\/p>\n
