In A Time of Change
Solo Exhibit: Delphine Fawundu-Buford
Curated by: Shantrelle P. Lewis
On View: June 6 – July 16, 2012
About the Exhibit:
“In A Time of Change, a solo exhibition featuring the photography of New York based artist Delphine Fawundu-Buford, is a profound reflection of the conditions faced by Black and Latino youth in American society during the Age of Obama.”
About CCCADI:
“The Caribbean Cultural Center is a not for profit cultural organization based in New York City dedicated to promoting and promulgating the cultures of people of African Descent brought before and after the Transatlantic Slave Trade.”
About the Artist:
“Delphine Fawundu-Buford is a photographer, artist and educator.”
“The human identity is a broad and complex entity. I am interested in identities that internalize and counteract the social-political norms in Westernized and post-colonial societies. In addition, I would like to explore the African origins of ideologies and physical expressions outside of the continent.”

80 Hanson Place | Brooklyn, NY
About the Exhibit:
“Delphine Fawundu-Bufords’s In A Time of Change will run opposite of H(A)UNTED’s Public Installation at MoCADA, a series of 5 images on display along the museum’s building on South Oxford Place. Featuring the work of five Brooklyn-based Black male photographers, the series of photographs articulates/confronts/questions the historical criminalization and stereotyping of Black men in the U.S. – realities that each subject confronts, negotiates and defies on a daily basis, by his very existence.”
About MoCADA:
“MoCADA’s mission is to rediscover valuable African cultural traditions that were lost through colonization and the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and to foster a dynamic space for the creation of the continuous evolution of culture.”
