Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photography and the Emergence of a People

Thomas Allen Harris' Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People is a two-hour documentary film and multimedia project that explores the ways black communities have learned to use the medium of photography to construct political, aesthetic and cultural representations of themselves and their world.

Some of the images featured in this film appear in the exhibition, Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera, on view at the Museum of the African Diaspora from June 18 - September 28, 2008.
