Description
Dawoud Bey: Elegy brings together three landscape series to create a powerful portrait of African American history in the United States. Renowned for his expressive portraits and Harlem street scenes, Bey continues his ongoing exploration of this subject. This collection of images takes viewers on a journey through the historic landscapes that hold deep historical memory. The exhibition features Bey's photographs from the Richmond Slave Trail, Louisiana plantations, and Ohio Underground Railroad routes, alongside essays by curator Valerie Cassel Oliver and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks, Imani Perry, and Christina Sharpe. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements, Bey challenges viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine the lived experiences of those who have shaped American history. Through his historically grounded images, Bey retells the story of African Americans' presence in the United States, inviting readers to engage with the complex history that underlies the country's geography.
