How Black women's visual work functions in an era of new racial and gender meaningIn the wake of contemporary art's post-Black turn and the mainstreaming of intersectionality, Undesirability and Her Sisters charts a new genealogy of Black women's art that exposes the unfinished project of racial and gender empowerment in the twenty-first century. Tiffany Barber argues that Black women's social positions at the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, and class are inherently queer, thus spurring unexpected aesthetic strategies that throw into high relief the ethical terrain of what it means to be Black and a woman now.Undesirability and Her Sisters collates what Barber terms "undesirable" representations of Black female bodies in recent American sculpture, collage, photography, and dance-based performance art by Kara Walker, Wangechi Mutu, Xaviera Simmons, and Narcissister. These works not only engage the visual senses but also incorporate olfactory, haptic, and sonic experiences that challenge traditional interpretations of Blackness and womanhood in art history, Black Studies, feminist and gender studies, dance and performance studies, and queer studies. Instead of transcendental beauty, wholeness, and individual and collective becoming, the perverse Black female figures profiled here eschew sublimation and synthesis as necessary responses to racial and gender subjugation in the past, present, and future.Through its unique, groundbreaking analysis, this book contributes to the ongoing discussions on the ethics of representation—the capacity to speak and act for oneself, to have significance and impact, and ultimately, to reject acknowledgment.

Celebrating a century of art: Creativity and Connection features one hundred works from the collection of Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG) in Bethlehem, PA. With reflective essays accompanying each selection, the book weaves together history with fresh community perspectives on the museum’s collection, now panning over 20,000 objects.Opening with a first-ever history of the museum by independent scholar Keidra Daniels Navaroli, the book brings to life iconic and masterful paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and material culture collected over the past century. Personal writings by students, faculty, staff, artists, and community members—in styles anging from the poetic to the analytical—illuminate the distinctive maker DNA of Lehigh University, where art has shaped teaching, campus life, and LUAG’s vision for the future.
