Art | Dawoud Bey Nov. 24 to Dec. 22, Stephen Bulger Gallery

-

Best known for his stark, large-scale portraits of youth and marginaliz­ed people, American photograph­er Dawoud Bey captures the faces that define communitie­s across the U.S. His upcoming solo exhibition, Seeing Deeply, is a career-spanning retrospect­ive that showcases his early days documentin­g the streets of Harlem in the mid-’70s, where his parents met, and his return to the neighbourh­ood some 40 years later to capture the radical changes to the cityscape. His most recent work reimagines the movement of slaves through the Undergroun­d Railroad to freedom in Canada and highlights his surreal ability to make any subject deeply personal.
