  • 1.  Human Trafficking exhibitions

    Posted 09-23-2022 10:53 AM
    I am conducting research on the representation of human trafficking in
    American museums. I have already identified exhibitions across a broad
    range of genres and museums. If anyone has curated, or knows of, an
    exhibition on this topic, I'd be grateful if you would contact me.
    Thanks so much.

    I remember President Lincoln's Cottage in Washington DC had an exhibition on human trafficking in the 1990s/2000s. It was incredibly powerful, especially paired with their interpretation of the site. And they also have an award-winning youth program, Students Opposing Slavery, that creates awareness about the topic of human trafficking as modern day slavery.
