JJJJJerome Ellis: A calendar commemorating slaves who escaped their enslavers, 1673–1886
JJJJJerome Ellis presents a newly produced work that transforms historical newspaper material documenting Black fugitivity into a calendar within Index’s exhibition space.
The work turns archival newspaper advertisements seeking the recapture of enslaved people into a spatial page-a-day calendar. Personal narratives are interwoven with advertisements from different periods. The exhibition is produced in cooperation with Secession in Vienna and KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
