Black Magic Photo Exhibition by Adam Davis ​​Artist and Educator Adam Davis explores themes of Afrofuturism through the recontextualization of the 1820s method of image making called wet plate collodion photography. In an effort to expand on his technical capabilities as an artist, Davis invited 100 friends to the 55 year old Black owned & operated community arts organization St. Elmo Village to sit for a portrait and be in community during the course of the still prevalent COVID-19 pandemic. What was once an exercise in curiosity and discipline blossomed into an extraordinary celebration of Blackness, Queerness, Afrofuturism, and the Art of Magic. Shown in this exhibit are 54 of the 100 portraits created over the past year.
