Sacred to the Memory: African American Burial Places in Shelby County
March 22, 2021 |
There are believed to be hundreds of abandoned cemeteries in Shelby County, and many contain graves of African Americans. Coriana Close’s past work has examined racially charged social and political history via landscape photography. This project goes a step further capturing the last physical manifestations of the dead. Join us to hear about Ms. Close’s project to document abandoned, semi-abandoned, and forgotten African American burial places in Shelby County.
3/22, 6-7pm
Coriana Close, Associate Professor of Photography, University of Memphis
