10. Unnamed Figures: Black Presence and Absence in the Early American North
Black representation during the late 1600s to the early 1800s is undoubtedly pushed to the background of our textbooks, even more so in New England’s history. This new exhibit will give visitors a rare look into African American presence and absence in the North through 125 beautiful works, including portraits, paintings, needlework, and photos. Narratives will be flipped entirely with a walk through this highly-anticipated exhibition. The exhibition will be on display at the American Folk Art Museum from November 15th through March 24th.
