EXHIBIT AT GEISEL LIBRARY

The Magic Lantern: Early Window to Africa & the African Diaspora

This small exhibit of early magic lanterns, and some surprising magic lantern slides, celebrates the role the magic lantern had in raising American's awareness of Africa.

Some of the earliest views of Africa were magic lantern shows (hand-painted glass slides shown in gas-lamp-powered projectors), relaying news and views of far-away places, pre-dating still photography and moving pictures. As early as the 1600's, lively magic lantern shows used early animation techniques, narration and live music to show the culture of other continents.

Opening reception at the exhibit site at 3:00 p.m. on February 1, 2012, hosted by the UCSD Arts Library and AAASRC.
