Goodbye from Renaissance Skin! Our project has officially come to a close in December 2022. Thanks to all who have collaborated with, supported, and followed the Renaissance Skin project over the years. Read our final news item here bit.ly/3IjXmBT
It is 1 year since the launch of 'Visible Skin: Rediscovering the Renaissance through Black Portraiture'. We were so proud to stage the exhibition across the @KingsCollegeLon Strand campus last year. Reminder that it is still available to view online here! bit.ly/3xgj8jM

To bring a fantastic conference to a close, a talk from our PI @evelynwelch2013. Thank you to all who took part and made it such a rich, engaging event (and look out for the bejeweled puppy in the slide, who may be appearing in an exciting book coming soon!)
