About the exhibition:
A Language We Share: Beverly Price and Gordon Parks features an intergenerational dialogue betweenBeverly Price (2023 Center Fellow) and Gordon Parks, one ofthe most significant and impactful American artists ofthe 20th century.By placing their works in conversation, A Language We Share considers how photographs function simultaneously as historical documents and symbolic forms,transmitting meaning across time. Ratherthan positioning the artists as past and present,the exhibition understands their images as occupying a shared continuum, speaking both forward and backward through enduring ethical commitments to dignity,truth and social responsibility.
