blacks in and out of the box

september 13 - december 30, 2007

This exhibition focuses on African Americans as artists and subjects throughout the history of photography. Thematically, it highlights California's influence on Blacks in front of and behind the camera and the on-going dialogue African Americans have with the images of their past. The show features 20 works from CAAM's permanent collection as well as historic and contemporary images from collectors and artists ranging from Blacks on the frontier to contemporary videography.
