The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This essay draws on two extended oral histories in comparing and contrasting two African American visual artists based in Greater Pittsburgh, Thaddeus Mosley and Elizabeth Asche Douglas. By probing the artistic and activist careers of both, the essay explores how the interrelated dimensions of their lives and art overlap with the context of African American life in mid-century Pittsburgh.
