Look Back at It: Black Quare Art, Representation, and Alternative History through Moving Images
Look Back at It: Black Quare Art, Representation, and Alternative History through Moving Images
The research objective of this project is to demonstrate how Black Quare art and representation (BQAR) in cinema have challenged systemic models of history imposed by racial dominance and capital control. The project will explore how art has been used as a tool to shape our understanding of the past through condensed forms called "historical models” which are remediated in films. Once this core understanding is established, the project will focus on BQAR that aims to create alternative models or realities of history where marginalized communities are at the centre, rather than whiteness and other forms of power in the periphery. This will showcase the validity of multiple interpretations of the past, instead of one dominant model that seeks to dictate time through the window of art via film.

Abstract
The research objective of this project is to demonstrate how Black Quare art and representation (BQAR) in cinema have challenged systemic models of history imposed by racial dominance and capital control. The project will explore how art has been used as a tool to shape our understanding of the past through condensed forms called "historical models” which are remediated in films. Once this core understanding is established, the project will focus on BQAR that aims to create alternative models or realities of history where marginalized communities are at the centre, rather than whiteness and other forms of power in the periphery. This will showcase the validity of multiple interpretations of the past, instead of one dominant model that seeks to dictate time through the window of art via film.
