Image and Africology

“Image and Africology,” opens March 7th with a reception from 3pm to 5pm. The exhibit, which runs through April 19th, is one of the participating spaces for FotoFest Biennial 2020.

The exhibition displays images by photographers Derrick Bey, Sinden Collier, Colby Deal, Christie Leday, Gail Mallory, Marc Newsome and Mel Perry who explore their fellowship with the diaspora and discuss the ways we all deal with cultural deference.

Curator Dominic R. Clay states that “Although we are separated between land and language with massive bodies of water in between us, the African Diaspora never seemed to be so close. Tethered between continents, we are all blood bound. Common expressions tie us together linking all of us to a common future.”
