Renee Mussai, curator of Autograph ABP (London), joins the WonderRoot podcast to discuss the "Black Chronicles II" exhibition at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art. Mussai details the social and political context that surrounds the photography in the exhibit, which highlights representations of black people present in Britain during the Victorian era, as well as the process by which the images were discovered.
This conversation is presented in conjunction with the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, where "Black Chronicles II" is currently on display until May 14, 2016. Special Thanks to Spelman College and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art for helping produce this conversation.
