2017 Architecture Lectures: Slave Dwellings Seen Through a Hollywood Lens

2017 Architecture Lectures: Slave Dwellings Seen Through a Hollywood Lens

Since Hollywood’s earliest films, rare cinematic depictions of slave dwellings have provided an image of slave habitations for many Americans. From Edwin Porter’s 1903 silent film portrayal of Uncle Tom’s Cabin through director Steve McQueen’s 2013 award-winning film 12 Years a Slave, museum educator Julie Rose, Ph.D., will explore how slave life dwellings represented on film changed over the century. Rose is director and curator of Homewood Museum and the author of Interpreting Difficult History at Museums and Historic Sites (American Association for State and Local History, 2016).

This is the final talk in the 2017 Architecture Lecture Series: African American Dwellings in the Antebellum Period, organized by Homewood Museum as part of Baltimore Architecture Month. Click here for subscription tickets, available through October 16. 1 AIA/CES LU available per lecture.
