Description

The Middle Passage refers to the route across the Atlantic Ocean via which enslaved African people were forcibly transported to be sold as chattel in the Americas. Along the West Coast of Africa, European enslavers traded goods — including billions of glass beads — in exchange for African people sold within the transatlantic slave system. This poster features a small selection of beads from Africa, Italy, Iran, and beyond which are a critical and underexamined part of this story.

For more information on the Middle Passage, listen to the GEEX Talks Q&A Podcast episode on Migration with KING COBRA and Dr. Kerry Sinanan.

Museum-quality posters made of thick matte paper. Each poster is printed with multicolor, water-based inkjet printing technique.
