As the Memories of Black Presence exhibition documents the artists’ individual stories of places, people, and experiences across the ever-changing city, this virtual opening event fuses their voices in dialogue to reveal connections between their creative processes and unique relationships to the land, life, and history of St. Louis.

The Griot Museum of Black History and Harvard University Commonwealth Project are pleased to present In the City: Memories of Black Presence, a new virtual group exhibition and series of online programming that center the visual perspectives of six St. Louis photographers and filmmakers who were selected for the 2020 Harvard In the City fellowship. The online exhibition will open on Friday, March 26, 2021, via the new Griot Museum website (thegriotmuseum.com), and it will run online through Friday, May 28, 2021.
