PhD Student Sterling Nix  attended the exhibition, A Bold and Beautiful Vision: A Century of Black Arts Education in Washington D.C 1900-2000, at the Anacostia Community Museum in Washington D.C. in October 2024. While at the museum, he also conducted archival research for a seminar paper for HISTART 8561. His case study investigated a past exhibition that traveled to this site in 2008, African Presence in Mexico: Yanga to Present. He researched the representation of Black communities in Mexico prior to the twentieth century. Furthermore, his focus was centered on the museum in its capacity to grapple with AfroLatinidad art in its complex exhibition history.

This trip was funded by the Graduate Research Small Grant.
