Rahim Fortune: “Hardtack” and Other Stories expands on the artist’s photobooks in three dimensions. The selection of prints from each book allows viewers to more closely examine the poignant moments that Fortune presents within single images while drawing connections across the artist’s three major bodies of work. The exhibition follows Fortune’s ongoing search for, and reflection upon, a sense of home and place through his examination of familial stories, peoples, and places. Ultimately, Rahim Fortune: “Hardtack” and Other Stories traces the artist’s explorations of migration and ancestral ties to land at the intersection of Black and Indigenous experiences in the U.S. South.
