The Colour of Anxiety

The Colour of Anxiety: Race, Sexuality and Disorder in Victorian Sculpture brings into focus sculpture exhibited and collected in Britain between 1850 and 1900, a rich yet largely overlooked body of work. Here the co-curators of the exhibition, Dr Nicola Jennings and Dr Adrienne L. Childs explore the works and ask why enslaved women became such a popular subject in Victorian society.
