20th-21st Century Latin American Art
This course examines a range of art forms from Latin American countries within cultural and historic contexts, focusing on artists active during the 20th and 21st centuries; studies Latin America's indigenous and African heritages and its colonial past from decolonizing perspectives; and explores major artistic trends (e.g., Muralism, Constructive Universalism, Neo-Concretism), as well as why the distinct -- and problematic -- category of "Latin American" art has emerged in academia and the international art world.

Feminist Vision: Art
This course explores feminist theories and practices in the art world, focusing on artists from Europe, the U.S.A., and Latin America. We begin with the premise that in any era and culture where systems of inequality exist, there are always people who challenge, intervene, and change their societies. Instead of viewing these artists as "ahead of their time," we study them as agents of social change who are vitally part of their time.
