ABSTRACT
In conversation with a co-editor of this volume, Jules Pelta Feldman, visual artist Dread Scott discusses his recent project Slave Rebellion Reenactment (2019), for which he led hundreds of volunteers in restaging the German Coast Uprising of 1811, the largest rebellion of enslaved people in the history of the United States. Slave Rebellion Reenactment is not intended as a precise recreation of historic events, but rather an exercise in creatively preserving and reconstituting history through contemporary performance.
