Description: This thesis will examine counter-institutional curatorial practices and community engagement initiatives in Black owned and operated art spaces in Los Angeles. The author?s research focuses on how these art spaces that highlighted Blackness were created within complex political and social movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, and the Black Lives Matter Movement, thus utilizing curation to take an activist stance against systemic racism. The presented research will be supported with two case studies of intergenerational Black-run alternative art spaces: Brockman Gallery (1967-1989) in Leimert Park Village and The Underground Museum (2012-2022) in Arlington Heights. These sites were located in predominately Black and brown neighborhoods and became spaces for intellectual agency and community action. They also sought to create support structures for a diverse array of artists, particularly Black cultural workers, outside of the commercial gallery and traditional museum system in Los Angeles, although they did occasionally partner with major institutions that supported their mission.
