These conversations focus on five Black art figures of Muslim heritage: (1) Ayuba Suleiman Diallo (2) Yarrow Mamout, (3) Joseph Cinqué (4) Omar Ibn Sayyid and (5) The Bashi-Bazouk.

Then there’s the fact that these images are all of men and Black people, allowing us to question the male bias and racial assumptions in modern visual culture.
