Rebel Faces: An 18th century painting containing the actual faces of rebels who participated in one of the most well documented revolts by black enslaved people.

      “...The main figures in the revolt were the three brothers Wally, Mingo and       Baratham.”

“... Because of the shortage of women, many of the enslaved men had wives and children living on other nearby plantations and it had become custom for these men to visit their families during their free time.”

“...warden Westphaal was given the order to increase the yield and restore order and discipline. To effectuate this, one of the measures he took was bringing down the amount of free time from two days back to one.”

Hello to every beautiful soul that landed on my blog. My name is Alexandria, the Black Art History Hottie, who is here to express her love of educating how the Black diaspora always been present in historical context of the visual art world. I am a 24 years old painter, who graduated from the Illustrious institution, Morgan State University, with my bachelors in Fine Arts - Multimedia art (concentration in painting). The work I produce are figurative and portrait paintings, mostly self-portraitures. My vulnerability and story-telling is what guides me to my self-portraiture pieces; and for my figurative paintings I honor and celebrate culture and traditions of the Black diaspora by illuminating the historical, revolutionary, and profound act of us existing.

I've had an interest in art history since the 11th grade, but I found love and fascination of it when I was a sophomore in college. Learning how societies evolved, cultures being established, and even civilizations going into turmoil; and analyzing how that is represented in art for centuries became thrilling for me. I discovered the importance of learning historical context displayed in the visual art world is a reflection of the diverse human experiences that shaped our cultures and customs, carry traditions, and share historical events that will never go untold. After completing all of my western art history courses in college I felt as if there was something missing from my art academia , and that was the not learning about the influence of the Black diaspora in the art history world.

During college I only learned a fraction of how Black people were present in the art world during my American art class, but I knew our history is more expansive than just being secluded to American art. After college I made it my hobby to invest myself into learning not only more about art history, but how the Black diaspora is referenced and represented in art history. That is how the Black Art History Hottie was born. To allow me to use this platform to share the extensive knowledge and our rich history, culture, and customs that is reflected in art. How Black people are exemplified in the fine arts world, and we deserve to see ourselves outside the history of trauma and oppression that was meant to tear us apart. We are more than such perpetual trauma. No matter where we step foot in, we've always became apart of historical context, and such historical context should be learned, embraced, and celebrated. While passing down such knowledge from generation to generation is what establishes the value of the art history; For it to not be forgotten.

I have known about Victoria Santa Cruz's work about as far back as secondary school but this is truly the most thorough and comprehensive article I've read on her work that does a great job of situating her in a broader, cross-cultural context; or in other words the "why" her work matters beyond borders.

Some powerful quotes that struck me:

"In a 2007 interview, Santa Cruz described how as a little girl, she had been playing with a group of friends when a new girl with blond hair joined them and stated that if Santa Cruz remained, she would leave. Her friends promptly told Santa Cruz to leave, which to her, exemplified who held power and who had the right to wield that power."

The author does a great job building context with this line:

"In the 1960s and 1970s, Black activists in the United States, like Santa Cruz in Peru and Paris, redefined and recreated what it meant to be Black. Black with a capital 'B' is about self-naming, self-defining, and self-determining, which can be seen in the work of Santa Cruz. It is, at times, biographical, exhibiting the arduous process she has endured to form an identity that isn’t controlled or concerned with outdated stereotypes and instead honors a rich heritage inherited and a [sense of self] not founded in shame."

Victoria Santa Cruz is originally from Perú, not the Caribbean, but as I touched on in a previous post, sharing this work is a part of a broader personal initiative to expand the narrative when talking about Latin America and the Caribbean and its diáspora.

Happy St. Patrick's Day: Now Enjoy My Favorite Pop Culture Music Influenced (or made) by the Afro-Diaspora, from Ireland...

Gotta start with underrated 2000's artist Samantha Mumba who genuinely put out a banger of a pop album with zero skips w/ Gotta Tell You (yes, I too crack up at the stuntman):

Keeping it rolling w/ my favorite single from that album, Baby Come On Over....that "This is our night" ad-lib sample is my favorite part and that key change right after, ahhhhh:

For the kiddies...I got two EXTRA oldies U2's Pride in the Name of Love which was inspired by MLK:

Thin Lizzy with lead singer Phil Lynott singing The Boys are Back in Town:

Tumblr's favorite Irish tall man, Hozier singing Nina Cried Power. Just about all of his music has that influence:

Sinead O'Connor, gone too soon, explains her performance of Black Boys on Mopeds:

And last but not least this classic hip-hop banger...

Hope you enjoy!

Ending this with Ruth Negga eating this editorial shot.

I wish the issues that happen in african countries such as child rape, child marriage, abuse and starvation of the people, ect would matter to BLM like race does.
