The Object of Black History

What can a single object tell us about the past?

What is the object of studying the past at all?

Wendel White visits museums and archives through the U.S., photographing single objects out of their vast collections. The resulting images push us to consider how — and why — we preserve and commemorate Black history.



Join us on Wednesday, February 24, at 5:00pm Pacific time, as Lois Leveen leads a discussion of White’s photographs paired with the words of African American history makers.



REFOCUSING is a Free Salon-From-Anywhere program from Blue Sky Gallery, in which we explore ways to redefine and strengthen community by engaging online with photographs and with each other.
