Remember This Place Project
Inspired by the life and work of photographer Dawoud Bey, the Kemper Teen Arts Council participated in a photography and poetry project that began in January 2021 and ended in March 2021.
Motivated by Kemper Museum’s exhibition, Selections from Night Coming Tenderly, Black, and the themes that arise throughout Bey’s photographs, the Kemper Teen Arts Council used disposable cameras to document place, people, and community. As Bey selected a Langston Hughes poem to accompany his body of work, the council members wrote and paired poems with their own images. The council members created a zine to document this project.
