Artists Rosana Paulino and Cameron Rowland explore the lasting legacy of slavery in their works of art. 

This is the first talk of the three-part series  "John Wilmerding Symposium on American Art: Afro-Atlantic Histories," which gathers literary and visual artists to reflect on how art responds to and shapes both official and overlooked narratives wrought by the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies.
