Left of Black S12 · E3 | Tina M. Campt on The Black Gaze in Art

What is a Black gaze? Does it merely imply a world view held conjointly by those of African descent? Or is it a way of seeing that forces us to confront Blackness and anti-Blackness and our relationship with both? Who are the Black artists that are pushing boundaries to embrace a broader understanding of the Black gaze while challenging Black respectability politics? On this episode of Left of Black, Tina M. Campt joins host and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal to discuss her book, A Black Gaze: Artists Changing How We See (MIT Press) and to unpack her favorite works by evocative artists who are continuing to change the face of the art world at large.
