Filmmaker, journalist and visual artist Keris Salmon will discuss her exhibit, “We Have Made These Lands What They Are.” Through text and image, the artwork gives voice and life to the reality of slavery in the U.S.
Through extensive research in six states, Salmon has uncovered ledgers, diary entries, accounting logs, letters, slave auction records, transcribed WPA-era interviews and countless books to compile a narrative of the history of the American slave economy. The exhibit is on display in the cathedral from February 17 to March 31.
