[ecrea] The Birth of a Nation Symposium, Liverpool

Register for your free place now at the Liverpool symposium of the 
network 'Art, Culture and Ethics in Black and White: 100 Years of The 
Birth of a Nation', taking place on Friday 13th November 2015 at the 
International Slavery Museum, Liverpool. Entitled ‘The Birth of a 
Nation: New Perspectives in Art and Visual Culture,’ our focus will be

particularly interested in exploring the film’s significance in today’s 
political and racial climate.
