Event Details

MOHAI is proud to present Perspectives on Place: Photographs from Here, which features 15 photographs from the collections of MOHAI and the Black Heritage Society of Washington State (BHS).

Community curators Ella Guo, Rachel Heaton, and Jourdan lmani Keith bring their insights to historic photographs. Their selections challenge assumptions of untouched nature, explore cultural representation, and magnify the ever-changing relationship between Puget Sound populations and the region’s landscape.

“This is a unique exhibit experience that explores the relationship between humans and place, illustrated in a selection of MOHAI and BHS photographs curated by three members of the Puget Sound community–activists, poets, community organizers, and youth– who bring dramatic new perspectives to an understanding of our region,” said Leonard Garfield, MOHAl’s Executive Director.

Perspectives on Place: Photographs from Here was organized by MOHAI in collaboration with the Black Heritage Society of Washington State (BHS).

Generous support for Perspectives on Place: Photographs from Here is made possible by Laird Norton Wealth Management, REI Co-op, Mike Repass, the Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation, The Norcliffe Foundation, Maureen Frisch, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and the MOHAI Exhibits Fund.
