The Seeing Ourselves podcast is part of a multi-disciplinary arts project conceived by London-based artist Sharon Walters AKA (@London_Artist1) on Instagram. Supported by the National Maritime Museum, through the Migration, Heritage and Belonging project, Sharon collaborates with a range of cultural thinkers, historians and artists to explore depictions of people of African descent in the museum collections. Their discussions are frank, open, and honest to offer a unique insight into how it feels to see ‘yourself’ represented and misrepresented in museum spaces.

A new episode was recently recorded in New York with Catherine McKinley, and is soon to be released! To catch up on previous episodes, click here.
