Photographer Dawoud Bey's work captures Black love, pride and history. I just adore this image of Three fierce Grandmas at a parade in Harlem, N.Y., in 1978.

SHAWN THEODORE - Artista interdisciplinar que incorpora fotografia, colagem e escultura para criar ambientes, fotografias e objetos anatomológicos. #shawntheodore (www.shawntheodo.re) #Repost @_xst (@get_repost) ・・・ “A Reminder” 40”x60” 2017, edition of 3. Originally exhibited in historic Elfreth’s Alley, as a part of “Revolutionary Art”, a joint project between @streetsdept and @VisitPhilly. This was the first of the photos I shot and placed in my series #futureantebellum, which I began shooting in the Spring of 2017, after the closing of my inaugural museum exhibition ‘#churchofbrokenpieces’. Church of Broken Pieces (2016) premiered alongside @dawoudbey’s seminal exhibition, ‘Harlem, USA’ at @aampmuseum this past February, 2017, and to say that the honor was singular in nature would be a vast understatement. It was an honor to be aligned with Bey’s groundbreaking work while stepping into then uncharted visual territory. However, it was not planned, it was a calculated risk that I took. I gambled with my first opportunity at a museum exhibition to step away from the #streetphotography series for which I became well known for (The Avenues) to showcase and explore my interpretation of conceptual African American street photography. The museum staff was surprised at the unveiling of the first three works (those being the #aarondouglas inspired tryptic ‘The Judgement Day’, which exhibited during 2016 @prizmartfair) because, frankly, they expected street photography documenting scenes that would create a conversation between the world of #DawoudBey’s #Harlem to our present day #Philadelphia. My calculated risk was to create an African American mythology, taking place in front of our very eyes, masquerading and blending in with reality on the same stage/plane as contemporary street photography. The risk, thankfully, paid off. The exhibition drew huge crowds of people who came from all over the globe, received critical praise, and set my journey into fine art photography in motion. The majority of the exhibition can be seen at @richardbeaversgallery until 11/19 before it heads to its next destination… (Continued Below) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByG6y7XJffI/?igshid=1vok37dorxzxt

📷#ArtIsAWeapon #ExhibitClosings Today, December 31, is the last day to visit the "Seeing Harlem" exhibit at the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building. Info: ogs.ny.gov/plaza-events-harlem Address: 163 West 125th Street, #Harlem, #NYC 2nd Floor Art Gallery and Community Room Hours: 12pm-7pm. @plazaeventsharlem If you can't see the exhibit in person, make a virtual visit: ⤵️ empirestateplaza.ny.gov/virtual-visit-nys-harlem-art-collection. 'The residential boom of the Great Migration made way for a new collective creativity, ripening a neighborhood for the most unprecedented cultural explosion in American History and solidifying Harlem as an icon of inspiration. To this day, artists pay homage to Harlem with their extraordinary vision, creating undisputed contributions to American Art. From the 1920s through the mid-1970s, the social and historical documentation of the neighborhood became an art in its own right, depicting not only a very personal experience and the evolution of the artistic community, but also the community at large. Still, in a time of rampant racism and inequality, the artists were largely underrepresented and even unseen... From the crafted poses in studio portraiture to candid street photography, New York State’s Harlem Art Collection exemplifies some of the significant eyes and voices that chronicle a community in Seeing Harlem. Artists on view include #AnthonyBarboza, #DawoudBey, #RogerCabán, #AdgerCowans, #RoyDeCarava, #LouisDraper, #JimmieMannas, Ted Pontiflet, George L. Robinson, Ed Sherman, #CoreenSimpson, #JamesVanDerZee, and Shawn Walker." #SeeingHarlem #HarlemHistory #HarlemGirl #BlackHarlemLives @blackharlemlives #Photography #HarlemDocumentarians #TraScapades #BlackGirlArtGeeks (at Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building) https://www.instagram.com/trascapades/p/CYJco1jLLR5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) is an American photographer, artist, and educator known for his large-scale art photography and street photography portraits, featuring American adolescents in relation to their community and other often marginalized subjects. In this book, Bey shares his creative process and discusses a wide range of issues, from approaching strangers and establishing relationships with subjects, to sensitively representing communities.

“Photographing people can easily intimidate them . . .  I keep it very conversation. Even though I’m doing a lot of thinking formally and visually about shaping the picture, it just seems like a casual exchange. ‘Hi, how ya doing? Mind if I take a picture? . . . I’m just out here in the neighborhood making photographs.’ . . . I try to give the subjects their space, while ln this side behind the camera there are all sorts of other things going on.” – Dawoud Bey

"There was this big hole," renown Black photographer, Roy DeCarava, told me in 1996. "There were no Black images of dignity, of beautiful Black people — so I tried to fill it. ... I wanted to find in the Black community itself, I was looking for humanity. These are people. Before they're Black, they're people, and this is what I'm concerned about!" - Dawoud Bey Dawoud Bey: An American Project Whitney Museum, NYC. Apr 17–Oct 3, 2021 Run, don’t walk, to see the magnificent photographs by Dawoud Bey, my friend and MacArthur “ Genius Grant” awardee, at the Whitney Museum. In this retrospective Bey chronicles communities and histories that have been largely underrepresented or even unseen, and his work lends renewed urgency to an enduring conversation about what it means to represent America with a camera.
