MANTON FOUNDATION ANNUAL OROZCO LECTURE | White Zombies and Black Labor

On October 11, 2018, Dartmouth Associate Professor of Art History Mary Coffey delivered her lecture titled "White Zombies and Black Labor: Specters of Slavery and Rebellion in José Clemente Orozco's 'Epic of American Civilization'". Orozco's mural cycle provides a powerful critique of the conquest and colonization of the Americas. And yet it makes no mention of the institution of slavery in the formation of its modern nation-states. Coffey addressed this silence and offered speculative readings of the "Epic" that speak to the specters of slavery and rebellion that haunt the mural. She will paid particular attention to Orozco's vision of the "Two Americas," as well as to the "Modern Industrial Man," asking what possibilities are opened by reading him as a person of African descent.
