Exhibition | African Voices Against Slavery

    The exhibition presents a different account of the abolitionist movement, focusing on African struggles against slavery and the slave trade, both past and present. The exhibition stems from UCL’s AFRAB project, directed by Benedetta Rossi, and is hosted by the BlackItaly project, in which FBK-ISIG is participating.
