Sepia-toned vintage photograph of three adults standing side by side on a residential street. The person in the center wears a suit, tie, long overcoat, and a tilted hat; the two people beside them wear long coats and hats. Brick houses, bare trees, and utility poles line the background, suggesting a cool season and an early 20th-century setting.

Opening Reception for A Time, a Place, Our Gaze: Re-framing the Subaltern, an exhibition curated by Kenneth Scott.


A Time, a Place, Our Gaze: Re-framing the Subaltern showcases a collection of rare twentieth-century portraits, snapshots, and vernacular photographs of black people in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. These life-affirming images, taken by unknown black photographers, bring renewed visibility to the struggles, successes, and everyday interactions of Saint John’s black community from the 1920s to the early 1960s.
