60-441 Advanced SIS: Special Topic

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Artists have used their own identity, lineage, personal connection to site, and family histories as a vehicle to discuss larger sociopolitical issues in our society for centuries. In this class students will be exposed to a broad range of contemporary artists whose work is firmly situated within family history, traditions, and personal identity. Students will develop a series of projects through archival research, creating collections, using multimedia materials, and object making to explore how their own identity and familial history are present in their work.
