During World War II, Black people living in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe were in some cases incarcerated in internment and concentration camps. One of the most significant visual documents of this neglected chapter of the war are a series of drawings and paintings created by Caribbean artist Josef Nassy during his internment. This talk introduces the little known Josef Nassy Collection as a unique visual record of the experiences of Black prisoners in the Nazi camp system.

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. “Human Flow,” an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. All are welcome at this free event.
