So I headed to neworleansmuseumofart to view the Legendary polonolaphotography “Picture Man: Portraits by Silk” exhibit!
Mr. Polo Silk also known as the Picture Man, has been capturing New Orleans culture for more than three decades! Throughout these years he has been able to preserve many pieces of our history in a way that no one else could!
Honestly I’m always excited being able to see a part of Black New Orleans that I didn’t necessarily get to grow up in.
His exhibit will be at NOMA until January 8th. Make sure you check it out and tag #polonoma

polonolaphotography has an exhibition of photographs at neworleansmuseumofart that I was interested in seeing on our trip to New Orleans. On my visit to NOMA, I ended up running into the legend himself! Gracious with his time, he allowed me to take a few portraits of him while discussing his work. Congrats on the show, Polo Silk!

Exhibition: `Called to the Camera: Black American Studio Photographers` at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA)
The last posting before Christmas is a valuable photographic exhibition on Black Americans which reveals the importance of photography to their culture. …
The photographs in this posting will have a very different meaning to those that live within the community which is portrayed, I expect bringing mixed feelings of pride and the knowledge of the struggle of Black existence in America. The photographs "help reframe the history of American photography and place Black photographers and sitters at the centre of that story."
Personally, I believe there is no centre and periphery... no inside and outsider art. To believe so is a misnomer, for everything is valuable in and of its own right, and should be acknowledged and appreciated as such.

Beginning in the late 1980s, Selwhyn Sthaddeus Terrell (@polonolaphotography) began to make a name for himself as "Polo Silk," initially as a rapper and DJ but rapidly as a photographer-on-the-spot for New Orleans’s emergent hip-hop and bounce music scenes. Today, he is well known as the documentarian of that moment in New Orleans history, capturing the fashions, trends, cultural politics, and creativity of Black New Orleans.
This particular photograph is on loan to NOMA from the artist`s personal collection. It is a portrait of another artist, one who has been instrumental to the photographer’s practice over the years. Otis Spears worked with airbrush paints to make the dynamic cloth backdrops featured in much of Polo Silk`s work in the 1990s. The two collaborated to come up with artwork that featured the newest songs and popular culture references, while reflecting the neighborhoods and places they were installed.
This photograph, along with two backdrops created by Spears, are currently on view in "Picture Man: Portraits by Polo Silk" on the museum`s second floor.

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get here to see this before it came down but I’m glad the weather cooperates enough to allow us to have a moment at the New Orleans Museum of Art to see Called to the Camera: Black American Studio Photographers.
I’m incredible proud to be a art of this very thoughtful exhibition and now a permanent part of the NOMA collection with How to Make a Country. To have this work alongside the Hooks Brothers, the Scurlock Studios, James Van Der Zee, and the beautiful daguerreotypes, tin types, and ambrotypes on view means so much to me. It’s like sitting at the table with so many who have inspired my practice. I’m honored to be showing alongside incredible contemporaries such as Endia Beal, Aaron Turner, and Polo Silk.
Congratulations and a huge amount of gratitude to Brian Piper. Bravo. The result of your hard work and dedication to the study of the history of Black studio photographers is something to be really proud of.
And thanks for giving me the last word. There are people in my family who would say they know how much I like that.
