Co-curators Alisa Jernigan and Evan Roosevelt Brown organized To Gather Together at Zeitgeist in July. The photography exhibition brought together notable local shutterbugs like Carlton Wilkinson, DaShawn Lewis, LeXander Bryant and more to create a visual archive examining how architectural spaces affect life in Nashville’s Black communities. The show included great shots of neighborhood gatherings, architectural street photography and candid portraits. Shabazz Larkin stole the show with “Gang Gang,” a photo he took at a family holiday party where he gifted everyone the colorful balaclavas they’re wearing in the picture. The result is like a film still from a Harmony Korine production of a Spike Lee joint, and I’m looking forward to more photography from Larkin. Maybe even a movie?
