Dialogues: A Preview of “The View From Here” | Free with RSVP

Brooklyn-based photographer Laylah Amatullah Barrayn and curator Joseph L. Underwood (Kent State University) will introduce an exhibition of contemporary art that began in Dakar and is currently touring the U.S.
The View From Here: Contemporary Perspectives From Senegal features 11 unique perspectives on Senegal from artists based in Senegal, Mali, Madagascar, France, and the U.S. The exhibition explores the artists’ divergent perspectives on urbanism, religion, economics, and technology in media ranging from painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, video, collage, and installation.

Barrayn and Underwood will also address their personal histories in Senegal—echoing the exhibition’s theme of foregrounding perspectives—followed by a dialogue where they will discuss the burgeoning art scene, the changing landscape of photography, the impact of the Dakar Biennale, and the opportunities for any artist who chooses to visit or work in Senegal.

The exhibition will be on view at the Zuccaire Gallery (SUNY Stony Brook University) from July 18-27 and August 26-October 12, with an Opening Reception on July 20, 5-7PM. The exhibition is accompanied by a full calendar of events; for more information, please visit the Zuccaire Gallery website.
