(Un)Known Legacies

with Harlan Bozeman

Saturday, April 27 at 9:30am

Working within the expanded field of photography, Harlan Bozeman uses the camera as a tool to recontextualize known and unknown Black legacies against his encounters working in the American South. In this talk, Bozeman will present his project based in Elaine, Arkansas, and other photo-based artworks that were created in response to his experience working in the Arkansas Delta. In addition to presenting artwork from two ongoing bodies of work, Bozeman will also explain his plans to start an archive alongside the community he works with.
