100BMOL: The Black Image

Date: Sunday 4th May 2008
Time: 3pm-5.15pm
Venue: National Portrait Gallery, St Martins Lane
Adm: Free entry: First come, first served (please bring a donation)

A very revealing presentation and film which shows how the image of African people has been deliberately altered by Europeans to show negativity. In the 15th century African people were portrayed in European art as noble, sophisticated and intelligent. With the rise of Empire these images were thrown out and replaced with demeaning stereotypes which still inform public opinion
via childrens books and Hollywood movies. This analysis of popular and world famous British art, museums and modern media by Moira Stuart, David Dabydeen and Richard Hart will surprise and disturb.

Previously sold out please be on time to secure your seat
