Haunting Images of America's Painful Past

In the Curatorial exhibition Ghosts of Segregation, photographer Richard Frishman explores the lingering presence of segregation, slavery and institutional racism hidden in everyday American architecture. From the New Orleans Slave Exchange and “colored entrances” at movie theaters to the abandoned Negro Nursing School in Houston, Frishman’s photographs show how our surroundings bear witness to history, reminding us where we have been, where we are now, and crucially asking, “where do we go from here?”

Rich Frishman was recently interviewed by BBC News to discuss his work on photographing the vestiges of racial oppression in small-town America.

Timely, meaningful, and surprisingly affordable, Ghosts of Segregation is available for booking through Curatorial Exhibition beginning June 2021.
