• Now through Aug. 31, the Brandywine River Museum of Art is showing Dawoud Bey’s Night Coming Tenderly Black. The exhibition features a selection of 10 photographs from Bey’s critically acclaimed series from 2017 that imagines the flight of enslaved African American fugitives in the mid-nineteenth century traveling along the last part of an Underground Railroad network. On view in the Brandywine’s Strawbridge Family Gallery, the exhibition will have particular resonance for the Brandywine region, given the many local sites that were active stations of the Underground Railroad network.
