Virtual Public Program: “Artist in the Archive: Contraband”
“Artist in the Archive: Contraband” with Jazzmen Lee-Johnson
Presented on Thursday, March 3, 2022
Jazzmen Lee-Johnson discusses her project Contraband, an ongoing body of work drawn from her research as a Creative Artist Fellow at the American Antiquarian Society. Contraband examines ephemera and manuscripts to visualize the economics of the transatlantic slave trade, making connections to the ways in which the industry of slavery laid the blueprint for drug crimes, illicit economies, substance use disorder, and mass incarceration in Black communities. Lee-Johnson also discusses her use of AAS collections material with Lauren B. Hewes, Vice President for Collections, and Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Graphic Arts at the American Antiquarian Society.
