SHEILA PREE BRIGHT: 'SUBURBIA' In a show intended as an alternativeview of contemporary African-American life, Sheila Pree Bright turnsfrom images of street culture to those of upper-middle-classdomesticity as reached by commuter train. Some of the elegantinteriors have a self-aware black identity built into their décor,through faux leopard skin and tribal sculptures in one case, and acollection of racist cartoon ceramics in another. But over all, thehouses could belong to any suburban world anywhere. 138 Gallery, 138West 17th Street, (212) 633-0324, gallery138.com; closes on Friday. (Cotter)

* KAMOINGE: ‘REVEALING THE FACE OF KATRINA’ The 10 artists in this group show are members of Kamoinge, a collectiveof African-American photographers founded in 1963. All traveled todifferent parts of the Gulf region in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrinaand recorded, in distinctively different ways, what they found: ruinedneighborhoods in a panoramic view of the Lower Ninth Ward by GeraldCyrus; displaced citizens in portraits by Collette V. Fournier, JohnPinderhughes, Herb Robinson and Radcliffe Roye; signs and memorials inpictures by Salimah Ali. The individual images are gripping; thecumulative record far more than that. HP Gallery at Calumet Photo, 22West 22nd Street, (212) 989-8500, calumetphoto.com, through Dec. 28. (Cotter)

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

    • Mambu Badu’s Inaugural Magazine February 8, 2012
      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]


  • "Dedicated to the real photographers of the world—to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms, are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than anything else in the world." - William Mortensen
