About the exhibition:
Witness the powerful photography of Baltimore-based artist Devin Allen, whose black-and-white images capture the raw emotion of the Baltimore uprisings that followed Freddie Gray’s death a decade ago in 2015. Documenting a defining moment in Baltimore’s history, Allen reveals both the pain and strength of its people. See these images—rarely on display—in remembrance of Gray’s life.
Content Advisory: These photographs reflect the impact of racialized violence. Enter with mindful awareness and deep care.
This exhibition is organized by Lisa Snowden, Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Baltimore Beat and Tracey Beale, BMA Director of Public Programs.
About Devin Allen:
Devin Allen gained national attention when his photograph of the Baltimore Uprising was published on the cover of TIME in May 2015, making him only the third amateur photographer to have his work featured in the publication.
