Ciarán Finlayson on Perpetual Slavery

<p>Andreas Petrossiants talks to author Ciarán Finlayson about his book, <em>Perpetual Slavery</em>, published by Floating Opera Press in 2023.</p> <p>In <em>Perpetual Slavery</em>, Ciarán Finlayson investigates the relationship of art to freedom in the work of Cameron Rowland and Ralph Lemon, who both utilize imagery of labor haunted and structured by the historical experience of slavery. Finlayson suggests that these two artists’ work overcomes the dichotomy between the recording of history and its interpretation by making both the object of artistic experience, thereby providing a space to grasp the continuing effects of slavery.</p>
