Opera singer and broadcaster Peter Brathwaite joins UCL History of Art staff to discuss Rediscovering Black Portraiture, his pandemic era social media project recreating historical depictions of Black subjects with the help of domestic material culture. Playful and provocative, his juxtapositions require us to see familiar images anew, raising pressing questions about power, representation, and the art historical canon.
