Join the Filson Historical Society, in collaboration with the 2025 Louisville Photo Biennial, for the opening of Black Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography.
Family is the social foundation of the Black experience. Black Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography celebrates Black families, traditional and non-traditional, genetic and chosen. Through photographs dating from the 1850s to the present, explore how Black Kentuckians throughout history have intertwined family with community and built kinship beyond the confines of blood relations. Black Homecoming invites viewers to reflect on the complexity of family and the importance of connection.
The public opening reception will be held from 5:00-7:00 pm with short remarks starting at 5:15 pm. Refreshments will be available. All participants are encouraged to register in advance.
