“Beautiful Blackness” is a visual pilgrimage following the path of Exodusters, African Americans who migrated from states along the Mississippi River to Kansas and Oklahoma in the late nineteenth century, and an exploration of the remains of Freeman’s towns across the south. It is an elegy for a lost promised land. Landscapes and figurative works combine to depict an exodus, a people and what remains of their hopes and dreams.
