Dawoud Bey: Elegy draws upon the factual and imagined realities of the early African American presence in the United States. 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 sites of a troubled history, but also as places that still hold the memories of our shared American past. The exhibition also includes two films: “Evergreen” (2019) and “350,000” (2023).
