  • Do we all see art the same way? Have you ever considered not only how your race and culture are portrayed in art, but also the lens through which you perceive it? Barbara-Shae shares her experiences and research on aesthetic values among different races.
    Barbara-Shae Jackson is an accomplished writer and poet who was born in Montgomery, AL and spent her formative years, as a military child, in Naples, Italy. She is a published writer whose work has been featured in MOTIVATED Magazine and ESSENCE Magazine’s Bestseller "Souls of My Young Sisters." She was a guest poet invited to perform during the Mississippi Freedom 50th return of the Freedom Riders National Celebration and was a part of the 200 piece choir. Prior to starting her graduate program, Barbara-Shae taught English in Angola, Africa as a part of their infrastructure rebuild post-civil war.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Gurl yess!!!! Praise God for this amazing young lady and her knowledge and smarts. However I feel like that all the time. I don't see myself in many things, and places. The only way to change that is to be that change, and create change.

    I’m working on a piece...a portrait of Dr. Du Bois, to draw attention to this concept. This made it even more appropriate which is always a good feeling.

    Interesting. How is it that white people love Jazz and the Blues? This has always escaped me.

      In a similar vein, many blacks enjoy heavy metal and/or classical music. It appears that this issue only really exists within mediums in which visuals are involved. My best guess is because a visual medium requires that the viewer see through a certain perspective, i.e the artists, and imprint their own ideas onto the art in a way that allows them to feel something genuine. Music is an art form that relies on genuine emotion in its raw, undiluted form. Art is more cerebral.

      @@jaeg.3806, her argument is biased, am African and I know many Africans who do not appreciate African art, similarly, am sure there are Whites who don't understand art.
