F.I.L.M. Series
This series is made possible by the office of the Dean of the Faculty (the Hansford fund) and by support from the Kirkland Endowment, the Art History Department, and the Days-Massolo Center.
Event Description
Professor Heather Merrill presents Fred Kudjo Kuwornu and his new film:
We Were Here: The Untold History of Black Africans in Renaissance Europe (2024)
Kuwornu:“When discussing Black people in the 15th and 16th centuries, the focus is often solely on their condition as enslaved individuals, overlooking the remarkable figures who lived in Europe during that period.”
F.I.L.M. events are free and open to the public.
Support for F.I.L.M. events is provided by the Dean of Faculty Office, the Kirkland Endowment, and the Cinema and Media Studies major.
Events are curated and organized by Professor of Cinema and Media Studies, Scott MacDonald.
