The devil is in the details

The Fugitifs! exhibition explores black runaway slaves in 18th-century Quebec. Too often erased from accounts, the descriptions given in the newspapers of the period are the only way to find out more about these people who fled their condition.

With Webster, the Commission des droits de la personne et de la jeunesse (CDPDJ) has chosen to put a face back on runaway slaves. Artists from a variety of backgrounds were commissioned to paint their portraits. Using newspaper clippings, they were able to give life to these figures too often left in the shadows, but also to highlight the conditions in which these slaves sometimes had to flee: barefoot, without jackets, etc....

So how do you highlight the work of the contemporary portrait artist, who followed the elements of the newspaper clipping, on the platform?

Focus on the creations

The Commission and Webster came up with the idea of cutting the illustrations into chunks to highlight key elements. It's a technique that replaces a face-to-face guide that would point and draw the eye to these elements.

They were able to use this technique because the rights to the works allow it. Otherwise, the platform's Zoom function would have enabled visitors to see the works in greater detail.
