My Topic: Adrian Piper- "Funk Lessons"
Question 1: The Beatnik and Hippie Movements of the 1950s and 60s are common examples of nonconformity directed mostly towards white culture. Can the funk movement be seen as a type of nonconformity or even a peaceful protest for black culture?
Question 2: Is there a deeper meaning for Piper's "Funk Lessons", or was she simply trying to teach the fundamentals of funk dancing? If so, what is the deeper meaning that she tries to teach us?
