How have black women
been represented visually? How have they represented themselves? And how have
those images shaped our understanding of what, in fact, constitutes
representation? To answer these questions, art historian Huey
Copeland examines the negress, a key figure in Western art from the
nineteenth century to the present. Join us as he wends his way through a range
of periods, places, and visual artists to narrate a transnational history of
modern contemporary art.
The Evanston
Northwestern Humanities Lecture Series is an ongoing collaboration between The
Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities and the Evanston Public Library,
whereby Northwestern University humanities faculty share their research with
members of the Evanston community.
