Black Art Providing Refuge: Nikole Hannah-Jones on The 1619 Project: A Visual Experience
Pulitzer Prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones is the brilliant mind behind The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning 1619 Project. The project, which initially launched in 2019, offers a reframing of American history that places slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. Join us as Hannah-Jones discusses the newest iteration of this essential project: The 1619 Project: A Visual Experience. This illustrated edition of The 1619 Project features newly commissioned artwork and archival images, deepening the experience of the content. By reckoning with this difficult history and understanding its powerful influence on our present, we prepare ourselves for a more just future.
Filled with original art by 13 Black artists like Carrie Mae Weems, Calida Rawles, Vitus Shell, Xaviera Simmons, and South Side Chicago’s own BRYANTlamont on the themes of resistance and freedom, a brand-new photo essay about slave auction sites, vivid photos of Black Americans celebrating their own forms of patriotism, and a collection of archival images of Black families by Black photographers, this gorgeous volume offers readers a dynamic new way of experiencing the impact of The 1619 Project.
