Includes bibliographical references."Afro-Atlantic Histories" brings together a selection of more than 400 works and documents by more than 200 artists from the 16th to the 21st centuries that express and analyze the ebbs and flows between Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. The book is motivated by the desire and need to draw parallels, frictions, and dialogues around the visual cultures of Afro-Atlantic territories--their experiences, creations, worshiping, and philosophy. The so-called Black Atlantic, to use the term coined by Paul Gilroy, is geography lacking precise borders, a fluid field where African experiences invade and occupy other nations, territories, and cultures. The plural and polyphonic quality of "histórias" is also of note; unlike the English "histories," the word in Portuguese carries a double meaning that encompasses both fiction and nonfiction, personal, political, economic, and cultural, as well as mythological narratives.

Hidden in plain sight : concealing enslavement in American visual culture / by Stephens, Rachel(Rachel Elizabeth),author.(CARDINAL)878200; University of Arkansas Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)836375;

Includes bibliographical references and index.NCMA Collection,"A long-overdue study of the depiction of slavery in nineteenth-century American art and visual culture, Hidden in Plain Sight investigates the relationship between proslavery politics and the visual record. By examining a vast array of Civil War-era artworks that champion the institution of enslavement and connecting them with the abolitionist materials to which they respond, Rachel Stephens traces themes of concealment and silence through paintings, photographs, and ephemera and explores how the visual canon of high art was used to cover up, control, and reshape the discourse surrounding the United States' most odious institution"--

A Nation Takes Place : navigating race and water in contemporary art / by Minnesota Marine Art Museum,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)350031; Gardner, Tia-Simone,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899071; Griffin, Shana M.,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899070; Gumbs, Alexis Pauline,1982-contributor.(CARDINAL)853800; Johnson, Jessica Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)889864; King, Tiffany Lethabo,1976-contributor.(CARDINAL)899069; McKittrick, Katherine,contributor.(CARDINAL)877909; Osbey, Brenda Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)899068; Pollock, Scott,contributor.(CARDINAL)899067; Sharkey, Erin,contributor.(CARDINAL)867841; University of Minnesota.Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)855718;

Includes bibliographical references."Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website."The Western formation of what has become the Americas was born through water. The metaphorical birth of a nation, nor its often violent formation, is a one time event. It is a process of taking, extracting, and dispossessing. Take -- a verb, to lay hold of, to displace things, or people, from where they belong. Nation-building makes property of things, things that were once unpossessable -- land, humans, and water. A Nation Takes Place looks at the many ways artists draw critical attention to the connection between water and nation, water and sovereignty, and water and reimagined ecologies. We look again at the convention of maritime art with an eye toward the ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession and extraction. A Nation Takes Place draws together a transnational collection of artwork , representing a variety of mediums - in an effort to unpack the ways artists help us comprehend the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slaveships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, there are histories that have been erased, histories that remain inaccessible to language, and histories resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place help us to fill in the spaces where words cannot. Located near the headwaters of the largest watershed in America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, Minnesota) is an ideal space to stage a project like this. With its commitment to creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water and organizational responsibility to reframe the portrayal of marine art in ways that give narrative equity to Black and Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from a mix of historic works and archives from a variety of museum collections, contemporary work courtesy of the artists, some emerging, some established, and some newly commissioned for the exhibition, this project centers on artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American marine art." -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-23.Exhibited: "A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art," curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, presented by The Minnesota Marine Art Museum with support from The Mellon Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, the National Endowment For the Arts, and Terra Foundation for American Art, August 24, 2024-March 2, 2025.

Slavery and the invention of Dutch art / by Fowler, Caroline O.,author.; Duke University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)290492;

Includes bibliographical references and index."In Slavery and the Invention of Dutch Art, Caroline Fowler considers the archive of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, arguing that it lacks adequate visual history depicting the ways in which life transformed into commodity. To address this, Fowler turns to Dutch art of the seventeenth century, showing how the specter of the plantation economy in the Americas overflows into the visual sites of these works. For example, Fowler examines the paintings of Frans Post (1612-1680), analyzing Post's coastal studies of salt mining in the Cape Verde islands and his depiction of the Brazilian sugar plantations alongside the account books, inventories, and written materials that travelled beside his pictorial record"--

Slavery, sugar, and the culture of refinement : picturing the British West Indies, 1700-1840 / by Kriz, Kay Dian,1945-author.(CARDINAL)855719; Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art,issuing body.(CARDINAL)146218; Yale University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)332061;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-273) and index."This book asks new questions about paintings and prints associated with the British West Indies between 1700 and 1840, when the trade in sugar and slaves was the most active and profitable. In a wide-ranging study of scientific illustrations, scenes of daily life, caricatures, and landscape imagery, Dian Kriz analyses the visual culture of refinement that accompanied the brutal process in which African slaves transformed 'rude' sugar cane into pure white crystals. These works variously imagine Britain's Caribbean colonies as curious, frightening, deadly, pleasurable and even funny for viewers on both sides of the Atlantic."--Jacket
