Foreigners Everywhere: Stories of Black Diaspora in Renaissance Europe

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 5:00–7:00 PM

Description
Reframing the common understanding of Renaissance Europe, the film "We Were Here — The Untold History of Black Africans in Renaissance Europe" (2024) challenges the notion that all Blacks were slaves or servants. It reveals a diverse presence, including princes, ambassadors, merchants, and religious figures. Narrated from an Afro-European perspective, it explores stories absent from traditional history books and unveils the untold history of Black Africans in that vibrant chapter of history.
