Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Art History (Fine Arts).
African Village in America is an expanded altar to God. It is the result of a vision from God, and its intended use is to spread the message of God’s glory and righteousness, and portray the sins of the world. While Joe Minter’s work shares characteristics of other art environments, yard shows, and African diaspora art and folk, self-taught and outsider art, it is distinct in its own right. Minter is a performer and his work is a performance that is inseparable from its environment of Birmingham, Alabama, and a commentary on civil injustice and Christian morality.
