Description

David Hartt’s poster project for Art Metropole is designed as an advertisement for art historian Charmaine A. Nelson’s book Slavery, Geography and Empire in Nineteenth-Century Marine Landscapes of Montreal and Jamaica (Routledge, 2019).

The project incorporates a photograph Hartt made in Jamaica and uses the language of guerrilla street-art advertising campaigns, which are usually the domain of music and fashion brands, to instead promote an academic text that confronts the history of systemic racism in pre- and post-colonial Canada. Hartt’s project points to his own perspective as a black Canadian now living in the United States, responding to recent events in the US, but also to how these histories are usually suppressed, and how systemic racism continues to be deeply embedded within Canada as well.

Edition of 500
