We have orga­nized this exhi­bi­tion accord­ing to a fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ple of the Mir­ror of Race project: that view­ers should be able to exam­ine the images with­out imme­di­ately being told what they are see­ing. The point is to allow view­ers to reflect upon their own ways of see­ing and then to com­pare their reflec­tions with what we in fact know about the image.
So what you will see when you first enter the exhi­bi­tion is an array of images. You can click on any one of these images to view a larger ver­sion of it, but at first you will be told noth­ing about the image. You will then find links pro­vid­ing you with basic infor­ma­tion, more spe­cific his­tor­i­cal dis­cus­sion as well as crit­i­cal com­men­tary on each image.
