Michael Ohajuru on Casta, Caste and Classification

Casta Paintings

Michael Ohajuru, Art Historian, Senior Fellow of the Commonwealth Institute and panelist on the Casta, Caste and Classifications – An Academic Discussion shares his blog post on the event.

Michael Ohajuru travelled to Leicester to meet with Opal22, Ilona Katzew, Susan Deans-Smith and Professor Rebecca Earle. Upon arrival, Michael and the team visited the Conservator to see with their own eyes, the condition that the collection is in.

‘A great experience – honoured – to see how the paintings are being painstakingly, literally being brought back to life.’ – M. Ohajuru

Following a visit to the Conservators, Michael and fellow distinguished guests we’re invited to document their thoughts on camera. Stay tuned to our blog page for more snippets from Michaels journey and others who have entered the journey of Casta, Caste and Classification.

Video’s from the Casta, Caste and Classification – an Academic Discussion event will be available on the Opal22 Arts & Edutainment Youtube channel.
