Inspired by (Re)Constructing History, this multidisciplinary program expands the exhibition’s exploration of photography as both record and revelation through poetry, spoken word, readings, and music. Taking the exhibition’s focus on layered histories of power, place, memory, and Black life as its point of departure, this event invites artists and performers to respond to the images on view and the stories they surface. Just as the exhibition considers how a single photograph can hold complicated, painful, and familiar histories within its frame, this program uses language and sound to further uncover what lies beneath the surface of the visible. Through live performances, audiences are invited to experience history not as fixed or distant, but as present, embodied, and continually (re)constructed.
