CfP: Privacy and Slavery, Past and Present: Academic and Artistic Perspectives on an Urgent Issue

Cornelia Parker, Cold Dark Matter_An Exploded View, (1991). Installation view, Chisenhale Gallery, 1991. Commissioned and produced by Chisenhale Gallery, London

Throughout all its manifestations, the structure of enslavement is designed to maintain control over people through the privation of rights. As such, privacy may seem a distant concept to enslaved people both past and present. What is private in a setting of constant surveillance? Can a kinship bond be private whilst commodified? And how is it possible to raise questions about the privacies of those who leave very few records of their own and live much of their lives under the control of others?
