Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop
Working Together is an unprecedented exhibition that chronicles the formative years of the Kamoinge Workshop, a collective of Black photographers established in New York City in 1963. In the fall of 2020 we had the opportunity the connect with many original members of the Kamoinge Workshop to discuss the impact this collective had on their lives and careers.
Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop - In the early years, at a time of dramatic social upheaval, members met regularly to show and discuss each other’s work and to share their critical perspectives, technical and professional experience, and friendship.
