THE AMAZING RACE: THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE THROUGH THE PAGES OF BOOK ART
A traveling exhibit about the transatlantic slave trade.
BALTIMORE – The Enoch Pratt Free Library presents a new traveling exhibit spotlighting certain aspects of the slave trade through book art.
The Amazing Race: The Atlantic Slave Trade through the Pages of Book Art
Through May 31st, 2015
Central Library, Annex Gallery
400 Cathedral Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
In the form of traditional and contemporary bookmaking and paper crafting, “The Amazing Race” is designed to chronicle certain aspects of the Atlantic slave trade experience from its beginnings in Africa to its early years in the Americas.
The exhibit exemplifies the extraordinary strength, courage, and grace of the people who survived the treacherous conditions of the Middle Passage. It is also about their descendants who, still faced with obstacles, had the resilience to survive and become valuable productive citizens of the Americas.
This book arts exhibit is designed and created by Martha H. Edgerton (Bookbinder, Book and Paper Conservator, and Book and Paper Crafter) who has practiced these professions for over 35 years both in private practice and at major learning institutions (including Enoch Pratt).
Guest artist Linnette Copeland has practiced bookbinding and book restoration for over 30 years at the Pratt Library.
