On April 19, the Working Group on Slavery and Visual Culture will be launching its first digital exhibit, "Visualizing/Performing Blackness in the Afterlives of Slavery: A Caribbean Archive," curated by Danielle Roper.
The exhibit will feature the work of nine performance and visual artists from the Caribbean on our new digital platform: “The Afterlives of Slavery.” Each artist was invited to create a digital performance/visual art piece reflecting on the legacies of slavery in their respective countries. We have chosen the Caribbean to account for multiple structures of racial domination that emerged from different histories of slavery and articulated through iconographies of blackness.
We will launch the exhibit during two virtual roundtables with the invited artists on April 19 (in English) & 20 (in Spanish), 4pm CST.
