A new exhibition, "Remember Me: Picturing African Americans in Early Photography," opened on 7 November at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The exhibit aims to illustrate how African Americans have used portrait photography to depict themselves, their communities, aspirations, and identities.
The show features 70 works from the museum’s archives, including pieces by African American photographers and portrait subjects. It traces the evolution of photography within Black communities and will run until 14 March 2027.
