Colonial Networks

This is a digital decolonial art history project that explores deep, yet largely unknown connections between Haiti (formerly the French colony of Saint-Domingue) and the Paris art world in the years before and after the French and Haitian Revolutions of the 1780s and 1790s.

Colonial Networks is a research project based between New York University and Queen Mary University of London. The project directors are Meredith Martin and Hannah Williams.
