Future Perfect

Opening May 26 at the CAMH, Ming Smith: Feeling the Future is the photographer’s first solo exhibition at a major institution to survey her work from the early 1970s through the present. Conceived by Art Is Bond gallery owner Janice Bond, who along with Barbara Davis Gallery will present a concurrent dual exhibition of selected works by Smith, Feeling is a fascinating overview of the ephemeral and tactile moments of life, especially Black life in the United States, as seen through the lens of one of the most respected, yet underacknowledged artists of her generation.
