NIU ART MUSEUM: The Art of Difference: Visualizing Race in the Roman Empire

Exhibit

NIU Art Museum recently issued the following announcement.

Can we use the concept of "race" in order to understand how peoples in the ancient Mediterranean world understood one another? Associate Professor of Art History Sinclair Bell will address this question through the lens of representations of Sub-Saharan Africans in works of "art" and material culture in the Roman Empire.
