THE BLACK AMERICAS / Visibility, Representation and the Cultural Dynamics of African-descended Communities

Why are so many Latin American national, historical and art museums in the Caribbean and Latin America silent about their African-descended histories, communities and cultures? How do museums with Black communities develop a professional practice that engages both the historical past and their living communities of today? Focusing on visibility, sustainability and networking issues, the panel invites participation in this discussion and seeks to launch a network among those addressing these issues throughout the Americas.
