In September this year, Glasgow Museums redisplayed the Glassford Family Portrait in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, depicting a child enslaved by John Glassford and his family. This short talk by Nelson Cummins, Curator of Legacies of Slavery and Empire will explore the rehanging of the Glassford portrait in Kelvingrove and how it may shape approaches to exploring histories and legacies of enslavement in Glasgow Museums moving forward.
