Ten years after its debut at the Birmingham Museum of Art, “Dawoud Bey: The Birmingham Project” will make a return. The exhibition opens to the public on Sep. 14, as part of the city of Birmingham’s year-long series of programs commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 1963 civil rights movement.
“This photograph seared itself, seared its way into my psyche. I don’t know if intuited at that moment that I was pretty much the same age as the girl I was looking at.
Graham C.Boettcher, the R. Hugh Daniel Director of the Birmingham Museum of Art, describes Bey’s work as a “contemporary perspective on a historic tragedy.” “The Birmingham Project explores the complexities of race, identity, and remembrance in a way that encourages reflection and dialogue,” said Boettcher in a description of the exhibition.
The museum is giving the public an opportunity to engage in a conversation about the exhibition this weeka series of events commemorating the 60th anniversary of 1963 bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church. On Wednesday, Sept. 13 at 6:00 p.m., Dawoud Bey will serve as the speaker for the BMA’s annual Chenoweth lecture with scholar and Harvard Radcliffe Institute professor Dr. Imani Perry.
