Afro-Atlantic Histories takes us to Latin America, the Caribbean, the United States, and Europe, but at its heart is Africa. Displaying works from the 17th century to the present, the exhibition explores the diverse visual cultures of the Afro Atlantic—places marked by the transatlantic slave trade and its brutal forced movement of African peoples across the Atlantic Ocean.
