    Assignments

    1. Read the chapter “Of the Coming of John” from W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk.” Afterward, craft a poem, Haiku, or artistic drawing that showcases your interpretation of Du Bois’ theory of the “Veil.”
    2. Reflecting on the work of Dapper Dan, design a magazine cover, social media advertisement, or meme that explores the societal impact of Black Fashion. In your assignment, make sure to include visuals highlighting the power of aesthetics and its ability to critique systems of power.
    3. In small groups, imagine your own unique utopian universe. As you brainstorm, think of ways in which your world is drastically different from our current society. Once you gather your thoughts, draft a six-panel Afrofuturistic comic strip that looks to discuss/resolve a current social problem.
