BLACK GAZE: Representation, Identity, and Expression

BLACK GAZE was born in the midst of the pandemic in a chance meeting with Titus Brooks Heagins at TLF during a conversation about the lack of resources offered to emerging Black photographers. Titus mentioned that he was at a point in his life that he wanted to “give back.”

This sparked the beginning of a year-long project to mentor six emerging Black photographers to create new bodies of work that will be exhibited throughout Charlotte. Titus and the other photographers will have community conversations starting in January at TLF in Plaza Midwood.

The photographers include Cheryse Terry, Jessica Dunston, DaRemen J., Gavin Boulware, Cordrell Colbert, and Phillip Loken. Since August of 2021, these photographers have collaborated to not only create amazing images but also to become life-long friends. 

We hope that you are as impressed by the photographers’ new work as we are…
