Artist talk – The Amazing Race: The Atlantic Slave Trade Through the Pages of Book Art by Martha Edgerton, March 11.

In the form of traditional and contemporary bookmaking, box making and paper crafting, this exhibition chronicles certain aspects of the transatlantic slave trade experience from its beginnings in Africa to its early years in the Americas. It serves as both a contemporary art display and as an educational tool. The exhibit will be open to the public from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Join us at 1 p.m. for an artist talk and Q&A session with Martha Edgerton. Some items, including catalog and hand-made book art, will be available for sale during the exhibition.
