This is how you see her? Rachael Pringle Polgreen of Barbados by Thomas Rowlandson’s satirical hand
This study examines the complicated role that works of art play in colonial remembrance, and the ways in which they sustain stereotypes, biases and power relations over the passage of time. It takes as its case study Thomas Rowlandson’s hand-coloured etching, Rachel Pringle of Barbadoes (1796), which has been used as visual evidence for the fragmented biography of an Afro- Caribbean entrepreneur, mythologised as a brothel-keeper servicing the Bri…
One-Eyed Archive
During 2016, the Royal Danish Library digitized more than 200.000 pages from the library’s, collections all of which related to the former colonies in the Caribbean.

This article sketches key concerns surrounding the digital reproduction of enslaved and colonized subjects held in cultural heritage collections. It centralizes one photograph of a crying Afro-Caribbean child from St. Croix, housed in the Royal Danish Library, to demonstrate the unresolved ethical matters present in retrospective attempts to visualize colonialism. Working with affect and haunting as research material, the inquiry questions how mu…

The project was part of commemorative activities during 2017, marking the centennial of the sale and trans…
Memorializing Contested Landscapes
This thematic collection of articles presents research that extends archaeological processes of investigation from the tangible to the intangible. These articles examine the ways in which contested landscapes, both physical and virtual, animate trans-Atlantic connections. Such terrains and places engage fraught memories of slavery. Each article attempts to navigate the residual pain of these histories in public spaces, while reflecting on how age…
Burthened Bodies
Under the shadow of slavery, skin color played a vital role in determining social relations within cities, ports and colonies around the Atlantic world. Eighteenth century literature propagated the idea that visual differences between the major known human populations were not simply a matter of climate, but also of discreet characteristics and biological composition. When focused on comparisons between Africans and Europeans, these discussions w…
