    Black Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography

    Dates: September 19 2025 – January 30, 2026

    Events: Opening Reception: September 19, 5-7pm

    The Black family, in different forms, is the social foundation of the Black experience. Black Homecoming: Kentucky Kinship in Photography explores the range of familial relationships as depicted within the Filson’s photograph collections. Like other racial communities, these relationships do not follow a specific idea of what a family should beor looks like. This collection of photographs shows how different communities can lead to kinship,and invites viewers to reflect on the complexity of family and the importance of connection.
