VIRTUAL Artist Talk

Road Through Midnight: A Civil Rights Memorial

March 4 / 6pm

Presentation by Artist Jessica Ingram, followed by a Q&A

Jessica Ingram’s Road Through Midnight: A Civil Rights Memorial, was shortlisted for the 2020 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award, and named one of The New York Times Best Art Books of 2020. The result of nearly a decade of research and fieldwork, Ingram’s work unlocks complex histories of the Civil Rights era, reframing commonplace landscapes as sites of both remembrance and resistance—as the fight for civil rights goes on and memorialization has become the literal subject of contested cultural and societal ground.
