| Description: | 'Mary Prince Dictating to Susanna Strickland' is a painting that was first shown in the 2024 solo exhibition 'Kimathi Donkor: Black History Painting' at the Niru Ratnam gallery in London, England. The work's title is a reference to Mary Prince, the African-Caribbean abolitionist whose landmark, 1831 autobiography 'The History of Mary Prince' contributed to the struggle against trans-Atlantic slavery. The painting's title also refers to the writer Susanna Moodie née Strickland, who transcribed Mary Prince's oral testimony in London. |
