Join me as I reveal the extraordinary Afro-European narratives within the V&A’s Europe 1600 – 1815 Galleries! My specially researched tour will give an overview of the African presence in 17th and 18th Century Europe as represented in a number of high quality artistic works. From blackamoors to rebel leaders – visitors will look at the experiences and achievements of individuals of African descent in European history at a time when the African body would become symbolic of degradation.
