Abstract
For my senior project I take a look at the history of magical realism as a genre in art, film and literature and how it has been used as a subversive form of critique of the respective societies of the artists. I examine how it has been applied in the 80 years since it first emerged amongst German painters in the early 1920s. Through the Latin American Boom with focus on Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude up until the current day with the works of Donald Glover and Boots Riley. My thesis makes the case that artists can and have used this genre as a tool to critique the world they inhabit, culminating with my own original work of magical realist fiction.
