“Fugitive Sight: African American Panoramas of Slavery and Fr eedom” examines how African Americans—through both word and image—deployed the visual mode of the panorama to represent both slavery and freedom. Disc ussing slave narratives\, pictorial newspaper mastheads\, and large-scale p anoramas\, Dr. Goddu’s lecture will show how African American cultural prod ucers capitalized on this new mass visual form to claim cultural authority and envision emancipation.
