Say It Loud: Aamarp 1977 to Now (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781636811994)

Fifty years of Boston's pioneering residency for Black artists, as commemorated through artworks, artist reflections and archival materials

Published with Institute of Contemporary Art Boston.

One of the first and only in-residence programs for Black artists in the United States, the African American Master Artists-in-Residence Program (AAMARP) was founded at Northeastern University in 1977 by artist and educator Dana C. Chandler, Jr. A vital outgrowth of the Black Arts Movement in Boston, AAMARP is a visual arts complex intended to provide free studio space, on-site galleries and multi-purpose spaces for community engagement. This is the first publication dedicated to the history and legacy of AAMARP. At its center is a detailed chronology of the program, illustrated by works created by artists-in-residence past and present. Say It Loud also includes reflections from over a dozen affiliated artists and reproductions of archival materials, including photographs, exhibition announcements and newsletters.
