Research + Practice: Beverly Price
About this Event
Biography • Beverly Price is a native Washington, D.C. fine art photographer whose work focuses on the intersection of preventative justice and critical compassion. She is dedicated to using her camera as a tool for advocacy, particularly within marginalized communities, with a strong emphasis on supporting youth in navigating systemic challenges. Through her lens, Price captures the stories of young people, preserving their innocence and dignity while addressing issues like violence, inequality, and displacement.
Her work embodies the concept of critical compassion, blending a thoughtful critique of social injustices with deep empathy for her subjects. Projects like Royal Blue: The Essence of Innocence—which examines the lives of three black boys impacted by gun violence—highlight her commitment to telling stories that foster understanding and healing. Price’s approach to photography not only documents moments but also serves as a call to action, urging viewers to engage with the broader narratives of community and justice.
Beverly's photographic works mainly focus on youth advocacy, helping young people find their voice and future through creative expression. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Master of Fine Arts in Photographic & Electronic Media, Price’s work has been shown in institutions like the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Her dedication to preventative justice and her compassionate storytelling have earned her numerous accolades, including the Smithsonian James E. Webb Scholarship and the Art for Justice & Right of Return Fellowship.
