Embracing Eatonville January 23, 2007

Founded in 1886, Eatonville, Florida, is the oldest black incorporated town in the United States and was home to the celebrated Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston. The exhibition looks at the spirit and character of Eatonville through the work of contemporary photographers Dawoud Bey, Lonnie Graham, Carrie Mae Weems, and Deborah Willis, each of whom have created a new body of work for this exhibition, exploring the importance of place to individual and collective identity.
