Abstract
This thesis provides a framework for looking at Black aesthetic practices as a form of resistance. I present an investigation of Black art that details the unique perspectives of Black people. The proclamation of Black life that arises out of Black aesthetics demonstrates the ways in which the unique experiences and perspectives of Black people are showcased as a means of affiliation and a form of cultural praxis that is harnessed in its depiction. Cultural formations and assemblages perform a resistance, as they express how the recognition and the thoughtful depiction of culture complicates racial binaries.
