An exhibition exploring the cultural legacy of the African diaspora and the history of the transatlantic slave trade will open at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC this month. Having travelled from the Museu de Arte de São Paulo via the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Afro-Atlantic Histories aims to stimulate further discourse around the impact of the African diaspora on art history.
