With 13 new artworks by contemporary artists of color in dialogue with the historical collection, the Seeing America history and art exhibit at the Newark Museum of Art centers on often-overlooked subjects and critical perspectives. The exhibit features nearly 80 artworks spanning the 17th century to the present, and the newly reinterpreted galleries reframe the museum’s historical American art collection to foreground slavery and Black and Indigenous history.Our video focuses on the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and fuses images of historical artifacts, illustrations and photographs, together with an immersive soundscape of evocative tones and sonic tidbits.
Presented in English and Spanish versions.
