The Lloyd Library & Museum in Cincinnati will be hosting an insightful event titled "The Botanical Color Line in Slave Societies" on March 13, 2024. Renowned artist and Professor of Art at the University of Cincinnati, Mark Harris, will be the guest speaker. This thought-provoking event will shed light on the significance of plant illustrations in the 18th-century Caribbean. These botanical artworks hold historical value as they provide identification of indigenous plant and insect species. However, their creation involved the often-unacknowledged labor of enslaved individuals who carried equipment, cleared forest paths, gathered specimens, and identified plant uses. The illustrations themselves, with their scientific objectivity and splendor, have obscured the contributions of African herbalists and the involvement of unnamed workers. These illustrated botanical works helped legitimize colonial regimes by showcasing rare exotic specimens and securing financial support for their printing. By exploring the structure of Caribbean economies, Mark Harris will delve into the duality of these illustrations and the need to reevaluate their significance today. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into the hidden aspects of botanical history. Tickets for this event will go on sale on January 23 at 9:00 AM.
