Badagry, NigeriaHere's a description of the image: A framed painting hangs on a white wall. The painting depicts a dark-skinned man, presumably a slave, with a wooden yoke around his neck. He is covered in what appears to be blood and sweat. In the background, there's a beach scene with boats carrying people towards a larger ship. The scene likely depicts the transatlantic slave trade, possibly in Badagry, Nigeria. The man's gaze is upwards, possibly towards freedom, as a boat appears on the coast nearby. The overall tone is somber, depicting the suffering and dehumanization of slavery.

A framed green and white print depicting a slave revolt on a ship is mounted on a white wall. The print, framed in black, shows a chaotic scene of enslaved people fighting ship crew. One slave embraces a crew member, while others attack with axes and other weapons. The scene is crowded with figures in various states of action and distress, and the text "Slave revolt on the ship" is on a small white sign below the frame. The print also has the text "LA/21/MTAC/066/029" on the upper-left corner of the frame. This image is likely located in Badagry, Nigeria, as the revolt is commonly discussed in the context of the city's history.
