Love for Sale: The Graphic Art of Valmor Products: Chicago Cultural Center, April 25–August 2, 2015 (exhibition review)
Christopher Dingwall
Christopher Dingwall
Christopher Dingwall is an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto. He is working on a book project, “Selling Slavery,” which examines how race was remade for an emerging mass cultural economy at the turn of the twentieth century—in theater, cinema, books, postcards, and mechanical toys. He is broadly concerned with the representation of race and slavery in visual and material culture, and is currently helping to plan an exhibition, “African American Designers in Chicago: the Making of a Profession,” to be held at the Chicago Cultural Center in 2018 with support from the Terra Foundation of American Art.
