SUMMARY:Wendel White: Folding Time
DESCRIPTION:Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum is excited to announ
 ce Folding Time, a solo exhibition of Wendel White’s photographic wo
 rks. The exhibition will open on September 3 and be on view through Oc
 tober 26, 2024, with an opening reception and artist talk on September
  12, from 5-7 pm. The artist's talk begins at 5:30. Wendel White is a 
 distinguished photographer known for focusing on Black history and the
  legacy of slavery through his foundational projects: Schools for the 
 Colored, Red Summer, and Manifest. The exhibition Folding Time will di
 splay a selection of photographs from each series. Through these bodie
 s of work, White is effectively folding time by bringing the past and 
 the present into a shared space.\n\nWhite’s series Manifest explores
  Black material culture across public collections in the original thir
 teen English colonies and Washington, DC, showcasing artifacts that ra
 nge from receipts for human purchases to everyday items, illuminating 
 the historical narrative of the Black community in America. Schools fo
 r the Colored documents segregation with historic African American sch
 ool buildings, particularly in the northern “Up-South” states. The
  digital imaging technique that obscures the landscape\nsurrounding th
 e schools, and in some cases, the schools themselves, is a visual \nr
 epresentation of the W.E.B. DuBois literary metaphor of the “veil”
  as a social barrier. \nRed Summer delves into locations where racial
  violence erupted between 1917 and 1923, combining contemporary landsc
 apes with fragments of historical newspaper reporting to bridge past a
 nd present perspectives.\n\nFor more information visit http://phillyto
