Project Status: In Progress

“Unfinished Conversations” (UC) is a new form of curatorial practice, public engagement, and programming to collect, give voice to, and provide a platform for untold histories, memories, and narratives related to the history of racialized slavery and its afterlives. By sharing experiences, histories and memories from people around the world who have experienced the legacies of racial slavery and colonialisms in different ways, scholars, educators and the public will have a new understanding of this global system and how it continues to shape communities today — in both shared and regionally specific ways. This website is a resource for educators and scholars about the history and legacies of global racial slavery and colonization told by those who have personally experienced it. The website is a part of the broader Unfinished Conversations collaborative project.
