Dawoud Bey Retro In Chicago

Dawoud Bey is Chicago’s holy mountain, a man who towers over the city like no other local artist. He is a beloved educator and father figure to many—if you ask for advice or have a question about some bit of historical minutiae he’ll deliver, which he also does generously on his famous blog What’s Going On. 

Now Chicago is reciprocating that love with Dawoud Bey: Picturing People, May 13-June 24, an outstanding 30-year survey at the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago.
