Please enjoy these student-created guides to museums and exhibitions that you may find useful in your study of race and antiquity.
Many thanks to students in Nandini Pandey’s Spring 2024 Classics Research Lab at Johns Hopkins for creating these guides. Please cite their work and remember it never substitutes for direct engagement.
“ETHIOPIA AT THE CROSSROADS,” THE WALTERS ART MUSEUM, BALTIMORE
Spring 2024 RAP members visited the “Ethiopia at the Crossroads” exhibition curated by Christine Sciacca at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore from December 2023-March 2024. RAP members Lauren Cook (Near Eastern Studies) and Nandini Pandey (Classics) reviewed this exhibition unfurling continuities between past and present across East Africa’s rich artistic traditions, including works by major Black artists like Faith Ringgold (1930-2024).
