Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera

Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera - A selection of works from the 19th and 20th centuries that are in the collection will highlight African American history, as well as the history of photography itself. Double Exposure will include historical photographs, albums, and cased images from the collection, as well as contemporary art that incorporate historical photographic imagery. The exhibition will present two predominant subject threads-popular culture and historical images of African Americans and the reality of black life as depicted by African Americans themselves. The photo based artworks in the exhibition comment on slavery, the civil rights conflicts of the twentieth century, and contemporary explorations of family, identity, and history
