call for proposals: GSU student symposium

This is an excellent oppty to share your insights. Let me know if you need help getting a proposal together - Liz

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.
