| My photos taken at the International Slavery Museum, Liverpool, England |
I visited the Liverpool's International Slavery museum as part of my research for context of practice 3.
The museum located in Merseyside Maritime Museum, was an insightful visit. I have been to previous slavery museums though their exhibitions were focused on slavery in the Americas, and the exhibitions at Liverpool featured interviews and work focusing on slavery in Britain.
The exhibition that stood out to me was the photography work of Alice Seeley Harris who after visiting Congo as missionaries, saw the brutal treatment of the natives by the King Leopold and his agents, initiating a human rights campaign.
The exhibition is showing from 24 January to 7 June 2015. (http://autograph-abp.co.uk/exhibitions/brutal-exposure)
