In an illustrated presentation, Finley will address how an eighteenth-century engraving of a slave ship became a cultural icon of black resistance, identity, and remembrance. Guided by the question \u201cHow do artists use visual culture to create alternative narratives?,\u201d Finley will present on salient themes that emerged from her research, including \u201cHow is the slave ship icon relevant to contemporary culture and identities?\u201d Included in the talk will be perspectives on current exhibition artist Paa Joe, whose work is contextualized in Finley\u2019s book. Following the book talk, participants will join Finley in the exhibition galleries, as she offers critical insights into the exhibition Paa Joe: The Gates of No Return<\/em>.<\/p>\n A wine and cheese reception to follow.<\/p>\n Cheryl Finley<\/strong> is an associate professor of art history at Cornell University, as well as a curator, contemporary art critic, and frequent essayist.
