Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) is an American photographer best known for his large-scale portraits
of underrepresented subjects and his commitment to fostering dialogue about contemporary
social and political topics. Bey has also found inspiration in the past, and in two
recent series, presented together here for the first time, he addresses African American
history explicitly, with renderings both lyrical and immediate. In 2012 Bey created
The Birmingham Project, a series of paired portraits memorializing the six children
who were victims of the Ku Klux Klan's bombing of Birmingham, Alabama's Sixteenth
Street Baptist Church, a site of mass civil rights meetings, and the violent aftermath.
Night Coming Tenderly, Black is a group of large-scale black-and-white landscapes
made in 2017 in Ohio that reimagine sites where the Underground Railroad once operated.
The book is introduced by an essay exploring the series' place within Bey's wider
body of work, as well as their relationships to the past, the present, and each other.
Additional essays investigate the works' evocations of race, history, time, and place,
addressing the particularities of and resonances between two series of photographs
that powerfully reimagine the past into the present
