Curator-Led Member Tour: Seydou Keïta

Members: Encounter an artist who changed the face of portrait photography. Senior Curator Catherine Futter will take us through Seydou Keïta:​ A Tactile Lens, the most expansive North American exhibition of the legendary Malian photographer’s work to date. Collaborating closely with his sitters, Keïta recorded Mali’s evolution through their choices of backdrops, accessories, and apparel, from traditional finery to European suits. Witness the power of photography through these richly layered images, which reveal not only Malians’ emotional landscapes but also the textures of life in a rapidly changing country.

The tour begins at 6:30 pm. Meet on the first floor at 6 pm to mingle with fellow Members over a complimentary glass of wine.
