About

Inhabiting Historical Time: Slavery and Its Afterlives explores slavery's impact and its enduring legacies via histories of oppression, resistance, subversion, and resilience. Objects related to these themes range from a 19th century ceramic by David Drake, an enslaved man, to Civil Rights era photography, and contemporary artists' exploration of enslavement and resistance.

This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and generously supported by The William B. Jaffe Memorial Fund.
