Presented By: Campus Information Centers CIC
Reframing the Color Line: Race and Visual Culture
Speaker: Martha S. Jones, History and Afroamerican & African Studies; Kristin Hass, American Culture
An exploration of racism as portrayed and challenged in American public culture. How do we critically understand contemporary representations of African Americans and “reframe” them with ideas that counter racism and enhance our understandings of identities, difference, and power? How do sites of public memory shape our shared understandings? The discussion is held in conjunction with the Clements Library exhibit, “Reframing the Color Line: Race and the Visual Culture of the Atlantic World,” curated by Clayton Lewis, Curator of Graphics, and Martha S. Jones, Associate Professor of History and Afroamerican & African Studies.
Free and open to the public. Reception follows.
