Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Fred Kudjo Kuwornu and produced by Do The Right Films, this multilingual journey spans the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and France, offering a fresh perspective on European art history and cultural heritage. The documentary features interviews with prominent worldwide scholars of Art History, History, and Black Studies, as well as Black activists and Art Curators, providing a comprehensive and nuanced view of this under-explored aspect of European history. Director Statement: I was born and raised in Europe, yet throughout my school years, I never saw myself reflected in our history lessons. The only mention of Black people came in the context of the slave trade, and when we studied the Renaissance, there were no stories or images of African descent in our textbooks. Discussions about Black people in the 15th and 16th centuries typically focus solely on their condition as enslaved individuals, overlooking the remarkable figures who lived in Europe during that time. This film aims to empower the Black diaspora by highlighting their presence as an integral part of Renaissance Europe’s societal fabric. It seeks to address the gaps in our historical education and challenge the narrow narrative that has long shaped our understanding of this period. Black life was omnipresent, yet the narrative that is selectively told remains problematic.
- Fred Kudjo Kuwornu
