From the late Middle Ages, and particularly during the Renaissance, one of the Magi, usually identified as Balthazar, was increasingly represented as a Black African king. One of the most striking examples is Hieronymus Bosch's Adoration of the Magi, today held by the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where Balthazar appears as a richly dressed Black king at the very center of the composition. These images placed African figures at the heart of one of Christianity's most important narratives, while revealing changing European ideas about Africa, race, geography, royalty and Christianity.
This recurring motif, a Black king at the center of Christian art for centuries, is one of the visual traditions we wanted to explore and tell in 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀, a film directed by Fred Kudjo Kuwornu, produced by Do The Right Films, exhibited in the Central Pavilion, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, as part of the main exhibition Foreigners Everywhere, at the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

Some of the film's reconstruction scenes were shot in Bologna, Italy, at Spazio MET, the home of Cantieri Meticci, a cultural NGO whose mission is to build inclusion and intercultural exchange through theatre and the arts. Spazio MET is a former warehouse regenerated around the idea of reuse and recycling, now hosting festivals, performances and intercultural evenings that help bring stories like this one to a wider audience.

This mixed-media piece, part of the 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 exhibition, gathers details from Renaissance portraits, the same Black figures explored throughout this project, alongside maps of Spain, Italy and the Mediterranean and handwritten anti-racism protest signs, all held together by a strand of Bodom beads, prized Ghanaian glass beads traditionally tied to lineage, status and spiritual protection. The idea behind it: every individual carries a story worth recovering, hidden inside the larger frame of History, and reassembling these fragments, Renaissance faces and contemporary ones, into one object is a way of making that presence visible again.
The use of the frame itself as a device, deciding what is shown and what is left out, echoes John Berger's pioneering Ways of Seeing, the BBC series that first turned the frame into a question rather than just a border.
This same instinct, pulling individual lives back out of the margins of history, is what 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 was made to do, a film directed by Fred Kudjo Kuwornu, produced by Do The Right Films, exhibited in the Central Pavilion, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, as part of the main exhibition Foreigners Everywhere, at the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

Andrea Mantegna painted this Adoration of the Magi around 1462 to 1464 for the Gonzaga family chapel in Mantua. It's the central panel of a triptych, now reunited with its two side panels at the Uffizi Galleries in Florence. One of the three kings is traditionally identified as a Black African ruler, part of Mantegna's attempt to paint the three known continents of his age.
It wasn't a rare choice for painters at the time.

A work that would not have been possible without the many historians who have spent over thirty years researching these themes, whom we thank, both those who took part in the documentary and those who did not.

I still remember the first time I visited the National Gallery, during my very first trip to London in 1997. Back then, I could never have imagined that one day I would become a documentary filmmaker, let alone that I would bring one of my films into this beautiful and extraordinary space. Tonight I will join the conversation with Dr. Miranda Kaufmann and Dr. Leslie Primo two great art historian and historia. Such as great conversation.
