The Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) is currently hosting “Lens of History: A Celebration of People, Spaces and Emotions,” an exhibition that delves into the rich history of Black Cincinnati through a collection of over 200 historic and contemporary photographs. Curated by Toilynn O’Neal Turner, the exhibition showcases the perspectives of Black photographers and community photo archives, spanning from the 1800s to the 2000s.
This exhibition is a significant contribution to the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial, America’s largest photography event. “Lens of History” aims to provide a visual narrative of the Black experience in Cincinnati, highlighting identity, community, and cultural heritage. The inclusion of both historical and modern imagery offers a comprehensive look at the evolving story of the city’s Black residents.
