North Is Freedom

Visting artist Yuri Dojc celebrates "the descendants of freedom-seekers who escaped slavery in the United States in the years before the American Civil War" with a striking set of intimate portrait photos. "Yuri Dojc’s expansive photography practice encompasses many kinds of looking. His multi-lens trajectory has pivoted from an established commercial photography practice to his current gaze as an artful observer of the vestiges of history’s most vulnerable," the gallery adds.
