In Conversation: Aaron Turner on Black Alchemy at Houston Center for Photography on Zoom

Houston Center for Photography (HCP) presents a discussion with its 2021 Fellowship recipient, Aaron Turner, who will discuss his ongoing project, Black Alchemy.

The conversation will illuminate Turner’s process, focusing on the roles that the studio, darkroom, and printing play in producing the work’s overall effects.

The process is quintessential in the artist’s ongoing investigation of Blackness as a material, as an idea, and as a metaphysical framework. The conversation will also examine some of the key thinkers Turner draws upon to probe the limits of representation, as well as the different expectations associated with Black aesthetics.
