About
Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985 is an exhibition on the role photography played in shaping a distinctly Black artistic and cultural identity in the mid-twentieth century. Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, it is curated by Philip Brookman and Deborah Willis, and overseen at the Mississippi Museum of Art by Kaegan Sparks. Through works by over 100 artists, it shows the medium's versatility as art, design, organizing tool, and community builder. From Kwame Brathwaite's fashion photography to Gordon Parks's photojournalism, it reveals how studio and street photographers, designers, activists, and community organizers used photography to document, imagine, and transform Black life.
