Afterlives of the Kingdom of Haiti, 1820-2020 Webinar
To mark the bicentenary of the fall of the Kingdom of Haiti, this webinar celebrates its manifold artistic and cultural ‘afterlives’, focusing in particular on the strong connections forged between Britain and Haiti. It explores issues relating to Haitian history and heritage, numismatics, transatlantic artistic production, dress and music produced in or on behalf of the Kingdom of Haiti. Co-hosted by Esther Chadwick (Courtauld Institute) and Nicole Willson (University of Central Lancashire), this event formed part of the autumn 2020 programme for the Courtauld Research Forum’s ‘Open Courtauld Hour’ series.
