THIBODEAUX: When Morning Comes
When Morning Comes
BRANDON THIBODEAUX
March 7 - April 19, 2014
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Brandon Thibodeaux photographs among five rural communities that span roughly 15 square miles in the northern Mississippi Delta. Towns like Alligator, Bo Bo, and Mound Bayou are historically rife with poverty and racism, but are also emblems of faith and perseverance today. Thibodeaux began the project as a personal exploration but encountered the universal:
“While this work makes specific reference to the rural black experience, I am reminded that with every visit, themes of faith, identity, and perseverance are common to us all.”
