Description

The Black Aesthetic Season II is composed of critical essays and projects in response to the second season of The Black Aesthetic Film Series based out of Oakland, CA and put on by The Black Aesthetic Collective, which showcased films made by independent Black filmmakers. It contains work that contributes to a larger conversation that attempts to define and demarcate boundaries around "Black" aesthetics while also positioning the diasporic diversity of Black cultural production and aesthetics as a self contained and self-referential global body of work. - Wolfman Books
