Join us in conversation with Fellowship Awardee Anthony Francis and Keystone honorable mention Xavier Scott Marshall on June 5 at 6pm ET via Zoom!
Several of the artists of Fellowship 24 ask how photography can be a powerful tool to claim space figuratively and conceptually. This necessitates dismantling art history and photography's presumed authority. Xavier Scott Marshall reimagines centuries of Christian iconography to create large-format black-and-white photographs that center Black experience and change perceptions of religious image-making. Anthony Francis exposes, redirects, and transforms foundational assumptions about photography, such as pose and gesture, to elevate individual agency and create potent spaces for imagination. We hope that you will join us for the first of three conversations dedicated to exploring each Fellowship 24 artist’s unique approach to contemporary photography and themes within the exhibition. Register at silvereye.org to receive the meeting information. All Fellowship 24 Conversations are free and open to the public.
