Frishman will discuss his ongoing series Ghosts of Segregation which photographically explores the vestiges of America’s racism as seen in the vernacular landscape: Schools for “colored” children, theatre entrances and restrooms for “colored people,” lynching sites, juke joints, jails, hotels, and bus stations. What is past is prologue. As Frishman writes on his website, “Segregation is as much current events as it is history. These ghosts haunt us because they are so very painfully alive.” Image credit: Rich Frishman, Colored Entrance, Tylertown, MS, 2018, Archival inkjet print, Promised gift of an anonymous donor Friday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.
