Shadow to Substance
July 27, 2021
“Shadow to Substance” creates a chronological arc from the past to the present and into the future through historical photographs and the lens of Black photographers working today. The exhibition pictures histories of enslavement, Jim Crow Florida, the Great Migration, the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter. It does so through images that expand ideas around healing, myth, intimacy, joy, resistance and rebirth.
The exhibition will be on view through February 27, 2022.
Admission is free.
