Description from London Art Week:
Organised around a single object - the marble bust Why Born Enslaved! by French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux - Fictions of Emancipation: Carpeaux Recast, running March 10, 2022 - March 5, 2023, is the first exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art to examine Western sculpture in relation to the histories of transatlantic slavery, colonialism, and empire.
We speak with exhibition co-curator Elyse Nelson, to find out more about the place of Carpeaux's sculpture within antislavery imagery, the development of nineteenth-century ethnographic theories of racial difference, and France's colonialist fascination with Africa.
