The Griot Museum of Black History and Harvard University Commonwealth Project present In the City: Memories of Black Presence, a group exhibition that centers the visual perspectives of six St. Louis photographers and filmmakers who were selected as part of their 2020 In the City fellowship program.

As this exhibition documents the artists’ individual stories of places, people, and experiences across the ever-changing city, this virtual opening event fuses their voices in dialogue to reveal connections between their creative processes and unique relationships to the land, life, and history of St. Louis.

This event will open with remarks from The Griot Museum and Commonwealth Project followed by a presentation of works by exhibit curator, De Nichols. Nichols will additionally moderate a panel conversation with the six featured artists, followed by engagement with the audience for questions and answers.

The In the City: Memories of Black Presence opening will be hosted online by the Harvard Commonwealth Project via Zoom. Please register and attend via the shortlink, http://bit.ly/inthecity-exhibit.
