Afro-Atlantic Histories

For centuries, artists have told and retold the complex histories of the African Diaspora. Afro-Atlantic Histories explores this enduring legacy, taking an in-depth look at the historical experiences and cultural formations of Black and African people since the 17th century. More than 130 powerful works of art, including paintings, sculpture, photographs, and time-based media by artists from Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean, bring these narratives to life.

The website includes an online audioguide.

This exhibition was initially presented as Histórias Afro-Atlânticas in 2018 by the Museu de Arte de São Paulo in Brazil.
