Making History Visible brings together historical and contemporary works to consider the role of visual art in creating a multifaceted image of American identity and history. This fall, as Princeton University examines its historic links to the institution of slavery, this installation juxtaposes works from the eighteenth and nineteenth century with those of contemporary artists to call into question who is represented, who is invisible, and what cultural values are embedded in the visual traditions of American history.
