SUMMARY:Frost Art Museum presents Dawoud Bey: The Birmingham Project
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 18th from 4-7pm join us for the lecture and opening reception of Dawoud Bey: The Birmingham Project at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum. Acclaimed photographer Dawoud Bey presents an exhibition of portraits\, which symbolically commemorates the four young girls and two boys whose lives were lost on September 15\, 1963\, in the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham\, Alabama. As some of the youngest victims of the Civil Rights Movement\, Addie Mae Collins (14)\, Denise McNair (11)\, Carole Robertson (14)\, and Cynthia Wesley (14) are memorialized along with Virgil Ware (13) and Johnny Robinson (16)\, two Birmingham boys who lost their lives as a result of the violence that followed the bombing.\nTo create the portraits\, Bey photographed girls\, women\, boys\, and men who currently reside in Birmingham. The subjects represent the ages of the young victims at the time of their deaths\, and the ages they would be were they alive today. Along with the portraits\, Bey also created a video shot in locations throughout Birmingham entitled 9.15.63. The video evokes the mood of that day: an ordinary Sunday morning\, propelled into tragedy by senseless violence. Without specifically referencing the incidents\, the project serves as a memorial to lives lost\, a message of hope\, and a promise for the future.\nImage: Dawoud Bey (American\, b. 1953)\nMary Parker and Caela Cowan\, from “The Birmingham Project\,” 2014\nInkjet print\, 16 × 12 3/8 inches\nCourtesy of the artist and Stephen Daiter Gallery\n© Dawoud Bey
