This course explores the art of the U.S.-Mexico border from the twentieth century to the present. Students will explore how artists have represented the border in works of painting, sculpture, photography, conceptual, performance, social practice, and activist art. This course explores issues around race, class, gender, and migration, as well the contested ground of Chicanx and Latinx identities. The U.S.-Mexico border will also be a starting point for global and comparative analysis of transnational border art in other parts of Latin America and the world. Letter grade only.
