Echoes of Ferguson is a commemorative and emotional retrospective of the residue left behind in the wake of Ferguson’s uprising. This exhibition illuminates themes of grief, evanescent placemaking, memory, memorial, monument, and a resistance to state violence. Through the photographic image, love, intimacy, and community become the centerpiece and catalyst for movement work. In addition, an audio collage creates a dynamic sonic narrative of personal and collective echoes of voices heard across generations of movement work. Activated to document the complexities of Black life, photographers Devin Allen, Jen Everett, Kris Graves, Jon Henry, Alexis Hunley, and Joshua Rashaad McFadden become storytellers echoing a movement resisting the social injustices that reverberate throughout 21st-century Black life and American life
