A new exhibition has opened at the Gordon Parks Foundation on Wheeler Avenue. “A Beautiful Ghetto”\u00a0<\/a>by Devin Allen follows the protests that occurred in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray in 2015, who died from spinal injuries after riding in a police van.<\/p>\n

The Gordon Parks Foundation is an art gallery named for a humanitarian who used his photography to display important aspects of American history, beginning in the 1940s until Parks’ passing.<\/p>\n

The Foundation is a non-profit organization with a public exhibition space as well as an archive of photographs that can be researched with an appointment. Before its relocation to Pleasantville, its original home was in Chappaqua.<\/p>\n

“The Gordon Parks Foundation is the repository for Parks’ photographic archive that was in his possession at his death in 2006,” according to Amanda Smith, Assistant Director of the foundation. “It was founded by Gordon Parks and Phillip B. Kundhardt Jr. in 2006.”<\/p>\n

“The Foundation’s mission is to permanently preserve the work of Gordon Parks, make it available to the public through exhibitions, books, and electronic media and support artistic and educational activities that advance what Gordon described as ‘the common search for better life and a better world,'” Smith said.<\/p>\n

“We do exhibitions based on projects that the foundation is undertaking, whether that be larger exhibitions with other museums, books we have recently published, or educational initiatives that we are supporting.”<\/p>\n

“A Beautiful Ghetto” will be on display at the Foundation until November 18.<\/p>\n\n
