A black-and-white image shows a group of figures during a performance. The person in the foreground wears shorts and cropped shirt; they kneel on the ground with flailing hair while another person in a white skirt bends her head to one side. Other people stand around them and watch.

Samantha Box: Confluences
November 20, 2024, to March 23, 2025

“Box is known for her arresting and nuanced work that shares stories of lives shaped by the intersections of nationality, race, class, gender and sexual orientation. Samantha Box: Confluences presents a survey of photographs from two series spanning 20 years of work, “Invisible” (2005–18) and “Caribbean Dreams” (2018–ongoing). This presentation marks the first time these series will be on view together. Confluences is the artist’s debut solo exhibition in Washington, D.C. An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.”
