Clotilda is the name of the last known U.S. slave ship, which brought 110 captives from Africa to Mobile, Alabama. This ship is the inspiration behind André Henderson’s new series of paintings, “Clotilda: The Final Journey.” The exhibition is sponsored by the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and is on view at Gallery 72 through Feb. 17.
André Henderson joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about his series’ reflections on the Clotilda’s grim history.
