Afro-Atlantic Histories (Portuguese: Histórias Afro-Atlânticas) is the title of a touring art exhibition first held jointly at the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) and the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in Brazil in 2018.[1] The exhibition was made up of artworks and historical artifacts from and about the African diaspora, specifically focusing "on the 'ebbs and flows' among Africa, Americas, Caribbean and also Europe."[1][2] Built around the concept of histórias, a Portuguese term that can include fictional and non-fictional narratives, Afro-Atlantic Histories explores the artistic, political, social, and personal impacts and legacies of the Transatlantic slave trade.[3] The exhibition was hailed by critics as a landmark show of diasporic African art.[4][5][6]
Following the original 2018 exhibition, MASP partnered with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., to bring a version of the exhibition to several museums in the United States from 2021 to 2024.[2][3]
