Symposium
Afrodescendants: Fifteen Years after Santiago. Achievements and Challenges
Activists from the Afrodescendant movement in Latin America, agency representatives and government officials reflect on the achievements and obstacles faced by the antiracist agenda formulated at the Latin American Regional Conference Against Racism (Santiago de Chile, 2000). This symposium is part of a broader effort by the Afro-Latin American Research Institute to define a new research agenda in Afro-Latin American Studies in dialogue with activists and other actors involved in the design and implementation of antiracist policies in Latin America.
This event will be primarily in Spanish. Each day's sessions will last from 9am to 5pm.

Cooper Gallery Exhibition
Black Chronicles II
The Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African & African American Art presents the U.S. premiere of Black Chronicles II, an exhibition curated by London-based arts agency Autograph ABP that explores the presence of black subjects in 19th- and early 20th-century British photography. The stunning mix of rare and mostly never-seen images depicts both ordinary and prominent citizens – artists, dignitaries, servicemen, missionaries, students, businessmen, and international royalty – captured in portraits by professional photographers.
