This is the first major exhibition about the Kamoinge Workshop, a collective of Black photographers formed in New York in 1963. Members of the group produced powerful images, sensitively registering Black life in the mid-20th century. The exhibition explores Kamoinge’s photographic artistry in the 1960s and 1970s, celebrating the group’s collaborative ethos, commitment to community, and centering of Black experiences.
Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop is organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and curated by Dr. Sarah Eckhardt, associate curator of modern and contemporary art, VMFA.
Exhibition and community programming generously supported by Megan and Peter Chernin. With additional support from Alan N. Berro; Willard Huyck and Teleia Montgomery; Vicki Reynolds Pepper and Murray Pepper; and an anonymous donor.
