Mississippi Museum Of Art to Present ‘Photography And The Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985’

Mississippi Museum of Art (MMA/the Museum) will present Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955-1985, a landmark exhibition exploring the work of American and Afro-Atlantic diaspora photographers and artists working with photography in developing and fostering a distinctly Black visual culture and identity. Investigating the medium’s role in the Black Arts Movement, which evolved concurrently with the American civil rights and international freedom movements, the exhibition reveals how artists developed strategies to engage communities and encourage self-representation during the turbulent decades of the mid-20th century.
