AAS 349 / ART 364: Representing Slavery Across the Black Atlantic

How have artists, over the last two centuries, approached the subject of slavery? In Spring 2017, Professor Anna Arabindan Kesson’s course “Seeing To Remember: Representing Slavery Across the Black Atlantic” attempted to answer this question by examining multiple, and often challenging, ways in which slavery has been represented, investigated, and commemorated in art from across Britain, the United States, the Caribbean, and West Africa. We invite you to read more about the course.
