Citizen Hope :
Length: 90 minutes
Citizen Hope is one of BGX’s final public walking tours. Situated in the temporal space of the revolutionary era circa mid to late 18th to mid 19th centuries, and traversing three different geographical locales along the Transatlantic slave trade, including North America, France and Saint Domingo (now Haiti). Citizen Hope examines the contributions that enslaved people made to the modern notion of freedom, rights, and citizenship, while also grappling with the contradictory nature of these terms, particularly as it pertains to the African Diaspora within the Black Atlantic.
Walks meet at the BGX Gallery // 192 Front Street, NY, NY 10038
