AFRICA SHOX CASE STUDY




 

Jean-Michel Basquiat



Jean-Michel Basquiat was an artist born and based in New York who explored abstraction.
Basquiat's 'History of the Black People is relevant to and has links to the Afrika Shox msuic video as the piece has references to the slave trade. For example the use of the word salt references the atlantic slave trade that took place from the 15th century through to the 19th century.

This links to the music video as the black character in the video is seen as less powerful and unable to function around the white upper class people of New York in the video.
