A Long Arc: Photography and the American South since 1845
Sunday, January 7
11:45am
Meet at entrance in front of museum.
The docent-led tour will begin at noon.

“The South has occupied an uneasy place in the history of photography as both an example of regional exceptionalism and as the crucible from which American identity has been forged. As the first major survey of Southern photography in twenty-five years, this exhibition examines that complicated history and reveals the South’s critical impact on the evolution of the medium, posing timely questions about American culture and character. “ Click here for more information about the exhibit.

Join us on this docent-led tour of the collection of photographs by Tom Dorsey called “A Very Incomplete Self-Portrait.” Admission is $8, payable at the museum. Please let us know if you’ll be there so that we can let our tour guide know in advance.

About the exhibit: A Very Incomplete Self-Portrait presents never-before-exhibited works by renowned photographer Thomas Dorsey. Widely known for his intimate portraits of African American families in their homes in Chicago and Atlanta, Dorsey also photographed the streets, houses, and buildings of his childhood neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. This portfolio of black and white photographs, taken while Dorsey was enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago, reveals the barren infrastructure of an underserved community and the resilience and stark beauty that can be discovered amidst bleak circumstances.
