Black Atlas

The Warburg Institute presents Black Atlas, a major new exhibition by multidisciplinary artist and founding member of the Black Audio Film Collective Edward George.

Overview

This project explores the Image of the Black archive – a collection of over 30,000 images which documents representations of people of African descent from antiquity to the civil rights era. Developed by Edward George during a 12 month residency at the Warburg Institute, the exhibition features a new film commission, and marks the first time that images from the archive have been exhibited in the UK.
