Come see the work of Justin A. Carney, whose project 'Full of Dreams' is currently on display in the CPAC Gallery for our exhibition, Sites of Memory.⁠
⁠
Carney writes about his work, "Full of Dreams began with a realization that I do not know much about where I come from. Most of the people who could have told me stories died before I knew to ask. What remains are fragments: neighborhoods in Baltimore, roads in Virginia, churches, funeral homes, family photographs, and sites where houses once stood. I photograph these places to consider how identity is shaped by inherited histories, absences, and memory. ⁠
⁠
The project questions what traumas, griefs, joys, and fears are carried through generations and how they continue to live within both people and place. While researching my grandmother’s life, I learned that I am related to the Quander family, one of the oldest documented African American families in the United States. Yet the Carney line, my direct lineage, remains largely undocumented. I do not know how my family arrived in Baltimore, what routes were traveled, where ties were broken, or what stories were lost along the way. The work exists within that uncertainty."⁠
⁠
Sites of Memory is on display at Colorado Photographic Arts Center now until September 19th.⁠
⁠
Gallery Hours: ⁠
Tuesday - Friday: 11am - 5pm ⁠
Saturday: 12pm - 4pm⁠
