Do we each have a say over our bodies and images once they are captured in a portrait, photo, or on a smartphone by another person? Join us for a community conversation that examines the role, cultural relevance, and societal impact of the 19th-century black model. Hear unique perspectives from Boston's own artists, activists and advocates, who cross examine issues of race, gender, class and the differences between muse, model and object.

Featured Speakers include Chanel Thervil and Harold Steward.
