WILLIAMSTOWN — The Clark Art Institute will host a lecture by Charmaine A. Nelson, Clark/Oakley Humanities Fellow and professor of art history, exploring the visual and cultural history of transatlantic slavery in eighteenth-century Montreal and Quebec. Her talk examines how systems of violence, race, and power were shaped and reinforced through art and representation.
Nelson is a leading scholar in Black diasporic studies whose work brings overlooked histories to light and connects past injustices to their lasting impact today.
