�  Prisons: Slave Ships on Dry Land Andalusia Knoll Silkscreen, 2004 Pittsburgh, PA Knoll superimposes an 18th century diagram of a slave ship onto a contemporary prison floor plan. The diagram, from a 1789 British abolitionist pamphlet, “Description of a Slave Ship,” illustrates how African slaves were transported in overcrowded and inhumane conditions during the trip across the Atlantic Ocean also known as the Middle Passage. The infamous Middle Passage was the second stage in the slave trade triangle. The triangle began with slave traders in Europe who went to Africa to collect slaves who were then exchanged for goods in the Americas. From the Americas, the traders returned to Europe with their profits and the slave triangle continued.

Abu Graib Tortues

�  If you are not familiar with the international upheaval spawn by U.S. torturing prisoners (without due process), you should look into it.

�  But as paintings connote, many U.S. troops not only tortured and in at least one case (a prisoner died), but took multiple

photos that, like everything else, found their way onto the internet.
