About Dawoud Bey: Elegy
Dawoud Bey: Elegy is an evocatively poetic exhibition in which the acclaimed photographer considers the early presence of African Americans through visualizations of the landscapes where histories took place. Through the interweaving of three photographic series—”Stony the Road “(2023), “In This Here Place” (2019), and “Night Coming Tenderly, Black” (2017)—Bey offers a framework through which to conceptualize the landscapes of Virginia, Louisiana, and Ohio (respectively) not merely as historical sites of struggle, but also as places of perseverance and fortitude. The exhibition also includes two films: “Evergreen” (2019) and “350,000” (2023).
