“Black is joy and pain.” – Brian Day, Detroit

We’re pleased to share that Brian Day’s work has been selected for inclusion in the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s initiative, Future of the American City.

Roy Feldman is a Hamtramck photographer with a hefty resume.

Forty Years in the business have certainly taught him a thing or three about his chosen craft.

Last month, his newest exhibit, titled “Truth & Grace,” was on display at the M Contemporayr Art gallery in Ferndale. The exhibit features many Hamtramck residents as subjects.

For his latest solo exhibition, Detroit photographer Kenny Karpov took to the Mediterranean Sea for a closer look at Europe's refugee crisis.

Many of the photos show Black bodies packed onto ship decks, calling to mind a modern-day slave ship. What gets lost in the mainstream media narrative of the refugees, Karpov believes, is that any of the African and Middle Eastern refugees are in fact fleeing the horrors of modern-day slavery, human trafficking, famine, and war.

M Contemporary Art was a part of Detroit Art Week from July 16 - July 21, 2019 with a lineup of events including the opening of Brian Day’s “A Moment Away,” a collection visit at the Burris Law offices, and studio tours with Senghor Reid, Scott Vincent Campbell and Robert Mirek.
