From Sean Kelly web site:

Sean Kelly is delighted to announce the exhibition, Dawoud Bey: Stony the Road, the gallery’s third exhibition with the artist. The exhibition will feature the artist’s newest photographic series, Stony the Road, (2023), and his related film, 350,000, (2023) which center on Richmond, Virginia, as the historical terrain where African captives first arrived in the United States and were marched into enslavement.

Commissioned and first exhibited by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in 2023, Bey’s Stony the Road series is the third chapter in the artist’s ongoing exploration of the deep connections between African American history, the American landscape and the traumas embedded in those landscapes. Dawoud Bey: Stony the Road marks the series New York debut, opening at Sean Kelly with a reception for the artist on Thursday, January 9, 2025 from 6-8pm.
