Dawoud Bey in Conversation with Leigh Raiford

On the occasion of Dawoud Bey’s major retrospective Dawoud Bey: An American Project  (opening February 15), the artist joins us for a conversation with Leigh Raiford, chair of UC Berkeley’s African American Studies program. Moderated by exhibition curator, Corey Keller, Bey and Raiford’s conversation will expand on the representation of blackness as an aesthetic and political act, and the role that photography plays in visualizing history.
