DAWOUD BEY – ELEGY
2025-12-08Elegy brings together three powerful photographic series—Stony the Road (2023), In This Here Place (2019), and Night Coming Tenderly, Black (2017)—to explore how the landscapes of Virginia, Louisiana, and Ohio continue to hold the echoes of America’s past. Through these deeply reflective works, Bey reconsiders sites marked by slavery and resistance, transforming them into spaces where memory, imagination, and history converge. The exhibition also features two films, Evergreen (2019) and 350,000 (2023), expanding the dialogue between still and moving images while delving into the emotional resonance of these charged locations.
