Loyola University’s Department of Design presents “A Tribute to Harold Baquet: Picturing Blackness,” a retrospective of the noted New Orleans photographer, in dialogue with 10 other Black and brown photographers. This exhibition is curated by L. Kasimu Harris.
The exhibition of 55 photographs is on view on the 4th floor of Monroe Library at Loyola University.
Baquet spent 30 years photographing New Orleans and its people, specifically Black political and daily life in his hometown. He worked at New Orleans City Hall as a photographer during the mayoral administrations of Dutch Morial and Sidney Barthelemy, and later spent 25 years as a photographer at Loyola.
The other photographers are Jamal Barnes, Edward Buckles, Delaney George, Camille Farrah Lenain, Ashley Lorraine, Girard Mouton III, Akasha Rabut, Tod Smith, Trenity Thomas, and Eric Waters.
