- Summary
- Photographer Dawoud Bey was born on November 25, 1953 in Queens, New York. He was given his first 35-millimeter camera at age fifteen. His photographic career began in 1975. Inspired by James VanDerZee's work, he produced Harlem on My Mind, a series of black and white photographs that were exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 1979. Since 1992, Bey has completed a number of collaborative projects, working with young people, museums and cultural institutions to broaden the participation of communities of color, whose voices have often been excluded from such institutions. He has had numerous exhibitions worldwide, at such institutions as the Art Institute of Chicago; the National Portrait Gallery in London; the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut; and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Bey's works are included in the permanent collections of museums around the world, and he served as professor of photography at Columbia College in Chicago.
