Focusing on the historical landscape, Dawoud Bey's work captures the early African American presence in the U.S. through three interconnected series. He explores significant sites like the Richmond Slave Trail, Louisiana plantations, and the Underground Railroad, revealing the deep historical memory in American geography. Accompanied by essays from notable scholars, this collection serves as an elegy that not only evokes history but challenges viewers to envision the lived experiences of those who shaped it.
