‘Souls of Black Folk’ (Como mi piel mi alma es negra) is a response to the illustration on p.41 ‘Black but Human’ Slavery and Visual Arts in Hapsburg Spain, 1480-1700 by Carmen Fracchia. It is the image of the story of The Ethiopian Eunuch from The New Testament Acts 8:26-40. What intrigued me first was that Philip the Evangelist had been given a brown skin. Other things that were impressed upon me was that ‘The Ethiopian Eunuch’ had no name, so I gave him a name and that the souls of Black people were believed to turn white once they were baptised. The Ethiopian Eunuch’s soul remained black.
