Confronting Anti-blackness in Canadian Art History Through the Black "mixed-race" Female Subject from the Eighteenth-century to Present Day by Raven Spiratos PDF Summary

Book Description: "Written in a time of great turbulence (COVID-19, racial, political and civil unrest, police killings of BIPOC, justified rebellions and climate degradation), this thesis brings together an important body of scholarly work into a critical exploration of the representations of the “mixed-Black” female subject in Canadian art and visual culture. It reflects my engagement with the fields of Race and Representation, Critical "mixed-race" Studies, Transatlantic Slavery Studies, Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies, Black Diaspora Studies and Black Feminist Studies. This thesis is expressed primarily through an Art Historical methodology, particularly valuing the social underpinnings of artistic production as intrinsically linked to the object.As an art historian, the inherent visuality of race and racism is how I enter the conversation of representations of Black Canadians of multiracial heritage (“mixed”). The goal of this thesis is to make legible anti-Blackness within historical and contemporary Canadian art and visual culture representations of Black “mixed-race” subjects by: 1) uncovering Bett (an enslaved Black woman who absconded heavily pregnant during the winter) from the Quebec Fugitive Slave Advertisement Archive, 2) confronting anti-Blackness in Canada at two distinct times (during her lifetime and the present day) through the analysis of Viola Desmond’s representation on the Canadian ten-dollar bill, 3) countering the Fugitive Slave Advertisement Archive’s inherent racism by way of Camille Turner and Camal Pirbhai’s contemporary Afrofuturist WANTED (2017) (photographic) series by re-imagining the portrayal of the enslaved subjects not as criminals but as self-sovereign freedom-seekers"--
