2-day Conference Theme: Express Your Self: Identity, Style and Adornment
Oct 19-20, 2018
In exploring the traditions, artistry, and social histories that have
shaped different forms of African American style, this conference will
offer participants an opportunity to explore the historical and present
impact of various forms of artistic expression on the development of
African American identities and cultural production, as well as how the
embodiment of aesthetic expressions serves as a point of reflection for
social issues today.
The Black New England Conference, now in its 12th year, is
an annual 2-day gathering where academics, artists, activists, and
community members share insights and research on Black experiences, past
and present, in New England and beyond. The Conference is both an
academic conference and a celebration of Black life and history.
