Abstract
Mixing criticism and memoir, "Artists in Residence" offers a rumination on improvisation and collaboration in visual art-making and contemporary jazz performance. The author meditates on the 2017 Unite the Right rally and Ryan Kelly's award-winning photographs of the event and considers how artists offer models for resisting anti-Black racism and white supremacy through collaborative practices. The author analyzes the documentary films Looks of a Lot and RFK in the Land of Apartheid and reviews exhibitions by Roy DeCarava and Jason Moran, highlighting the points of intersection between jazz musicianship and visual artistry. Finally, the essay argues that artists like Kara Walker, William Kentridge, and Yusef Komunyakaa create works that express the pleasure and pain of Black Diasporic experience through practices such as blues idiom improvisation and collage. The author presents criticism as a mode of personal writing.

Measures are provided for Oxford of the residential segregation of various groups defined by birthplace. West Indians are shown to be the most segregated and the most dissimilar in area of residence to the Natives. Overall, however, it is suggested that the society has proved very open in the matter of residence and will tend even more in this direction if and when immigrants obtain access to council housing. `Foreign' groups as a whole seem advantageously placed in area of residence compared with the Natives, and Indians in particular are a privileged group in this matter. The data for Oxford is seen against other material for the English Conurbations.
