Blackness, Citizenship and the Arts

Fifteen artists, community activists and scholars working on “The Black Question” in Paris and in Pittsburgh will come together for discussions on the effects of globalization, modern citizenship and rising nationalism on black communities through the symposium “Blackness, Citizenship and the Arts.” Four panels will compare and contrast the multiple layers of blackness, its realization and challenges, as well as the ways in which the humanities and arts help rethink and redesign new identity paradigms.
