Guided Conversation at Block Gallery: It Ain’t All Black and White Exhibition

Block Gallery 222 W. Hargett St., Raleigh, NC

In conjunction with honoring Black History Month, Block Gallery will host a public conversation with the featured artists of the "It Ain't All Black and White" photography exhibition. This event will be led and facilitated by Lamar Whidbee, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate with a passion for helping others overcome mental health challenges. The conversation will offer an opportunity to center Black stories as we examine the emotions and the relationship to ancestors, community, environment, and creative practice. How do our sophisticated emotions steer and inform our lives, and how do we show up in the world, behind or in front of the camera? "It Ain't All Black and White" is a Block Gallery exhibition curated by North Carolina-based photographer Leticia Clementina and features the works of 10 dynamic photographers dedicated to documenting the fullness and complexity of Black life. Featured photographers include Derrick Beasley, Mark Anthony Brown Jr., Samantha Everette, Chris Facey, Titus Brooks Heagins, Gadisse Lee, Phillip "King Phill" Loken, Jaylan Rhea, and Cornell Watson.
