$_gcStart – $_gcEnd $_gcEndMarker $_gcTZ
Join us for a tour of Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens at the Brooklyn Museum with guest curator Catherine McKinley ’89. During this tour you will encounter an artist who changed the face of portrait photography. Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens is the most expansive North American exhibition of the legendary Malian photographer’s work to date. More than 280 works include iconic prints, never-before-seen portraits, textiles, and Keïta’s personal artifacts, all brought to life with unique insights from his family. This exhibition brings us to Bamako from the late 1940s to early 1960s, an era of profound political and social transformation. Witness the power of photography through these richly layered images, which reveal not only Malians’ emotional landscapes but also the textures of life in a rapidly changing country.
Catherine McKinley ’89 is a curator and critically acclaimed writer. Her books include Indigo, Book of Sarahs, and The African Lookbook: A Visual History of 100 Years of African Women.
