The Welch School of Art and Design’s Gallery is organizing a
symposium on Friday February 12, 2010 in celebration of Black History
Month. Graduate and undergraduate students from all GSU departments
are invited to present papers that address any of the following areas
as they pertain to the African and African American artistic experience:
Journey, Representation, Autobiography, Spirituality, Identity,
Critical Perspectives, Race, and Visual Culture. By assembling a
diverse set of papers without temporal or geographical guidelines, the
symposium strives to highlight the variability and complexity of African
and Diasporic cultural and artistic legacies.

Paper presentation time should not exceed 20 minutes. The symposium
space will be equipped to project digital images. Support will be
available for students who wish to receive assistance in polishing their
presentations prior to the symposium.

Please email Waduda Muhammad or Dr. Kimberly Cleveland with paper
topics by 5:00pm Friday December 18, 2009 if you are interested in
participating.
