Event Review: Treasured Cigar Box
Chartrand's TREASURED CIGAR BOX series invites you into a world of the global slave trade perspectives between Africa, Europe, the Americas, and America (USA). These multidimensional assemblage cigar boxes incorporate recycled and found objects, keys, money, and hand painted paper.
The TREASURED CIGAR BOX series offers knowledge and research into the deeper meaning of how the exploitative practices in the brutal servitude of the African slaves reaped fortunes for the Colonizers. Finally, the planting and harvesting of tobacco by African Slaves fueled the beginnings of the modern day global corporations.
This is an excellent show for all ages and also provides historical contextual information next to each box.
