In 1861 Frederick Douglass, a black American, wrote an essay entitled Images and Progress<\/em>. Born enslaved but having managed to escape, he became a voice – in texts and conferences – in favour of the abolition and of the humanization of the millions of African Americans who, in\u00a0the mid-19th<\/sup> century, lived between oppression and\u00a0achievement of citizenship status. Douglass wrote about the transformative potential of photography to produce social and political change in the new nation that emerged after the civil war. He lived, according to him, in a century in which images had become more important than words and he had himself photographed in studio portraits that contrasted with the many photographs of enslaved\u00a0or colonised peoples taken in the same period in various parts of the world.<\/p>\n

In the same period, also in the US, Sojourner Truth, a woman born enslaved, used photographic self-representation to promote the dignity of black American women and men. Under her portrait, which she sold to support the abolitionist cause and gender equality,\u00a0she added an iconic phrase: \u00abI sell the shadow to promote the substance\u00bb. The \u00abshadow\u00bb of photography at the service of \u00absubstance\u00bb – a more humane and egalitarian future where racial discrimination was something from the past. This future proved to be a \u201cconstant struggle\u201d, as Angela Davies wrote more than a hundred years later, but the potential of images as empowerment and not just as dehumanization was already enunciated.<\/p>\n

These two cases serve as counter-narratives to a dominant visual culture in which images of black people emerged in situations of slavery or colonialism or, yesterday as today, as victims of racism and violence or, in the case of women’s bodies, also sexual violence. Racial and gender discrimination legitimized by genealogies of powers in which some bodies were\/are worth more than others.<\/p>\n

Each national context has its historical specificity. If the US visual historical archives are inseparable from 19th<\/sup> century slavery or 1950s segregation, the images of black people in the Portuguese archives, as in the French, British or Germans ones, are inseparable from a recent history in which the chronology of colonialism coincided with that of photography in its multiple forms of reproduction – postcards, books, newspapers and leaflets.<\/p>\n

In recent years there have been many academics, artists, curators and\u00a0collectors – many of them black, African\u00a0or from the vast African diaspora – critically addressing the relationship between visuality and blackness, between images and racism,\u00a0between the many ethical implications in dealing, today, with\u00a0violent visual legacies of the past and the right to representation in the public sphere as a mode of racial and social justice.\u00a0In this cycle\u00a0we will be listening to some of these voices. – Filipa Lowndes Vicente<\/strong><\/p>\n
