Visualizing Slavery Conference at Yale Centre for British Art



Joscelyn attended the two-day international conference “Visualizing Slavery and British Culture in the Eighteenth Century” at the Yale Center for British Art held on November 7 - 8, 2014.  The conference coincided with the Center’s exhibition 'Figures of Empire: Slavery and Portraiture in Eighteenth-Century Atlantic Britain', which explored the multiple and complex relationships between slavery and portraiture in eighteenth-century Britain as represented in the collections of the Center and other Yale institutions. During a breakout session led by Gillian Saunders and Heather Vermeulen, Joscelyn spoke about her works from the Creole Portraits III series that are held in the Centre's permanent collection.
