| book description |

Dawoud Bey focuses on the landscape to create a portrait of the early African American presence in the United States. Renowned for his Harlem street scenes and expressive portraits, Dawoud Bey continues his ongoing series on African American history. ElegyÂ brings together Beyâ€™s three landscape series to dateâ€”Night Coming Tenderly, BlackÂ Â (2017);Â In This Here PlaceÂ Â (2021); andÂ Stony the RoadÂ (2023)â€”elucidating the deep historical memory still embedded in the geography of the United States. Bey takes viewers to the historic Richmond Slave Trail in Virginia, where Africans were marched onto auction blocks; to the plantations of Louisiana, where they labored; and along the last stages of the Underground Railroad in Ohio, where fugitives sought self-emancipation. Essays by the exhibitionâ€™s curator, Valerie Cassel Oliver, and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks, Imani Perry, and Christina Sharpe illuminate the work. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements, Bey doesnâ€™t merely evoke history, he retells it through historically grounded images that challenge viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine lived experiences.Â Copublished by Aperture and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond
