ART
“Where We Find Ourselves: The Photographs of Hugh Mangum” is currently showing at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. This exhibition of the work of Hugh Mangum, a self-taught photographer from Durham reflects an era long past while still being relevant today. Mangum’s photographs show a diverse cross-section of lives from different races and socio-economic groups, which is surprising for the time period, the era of Jim Crow. This show runs through September 1. The museum is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00am-5:00pm, on Thursday from 10:00am-9:00pm, and Sunday from noon-5:00pm. Pricing is $7 general admission, $5 seniors, $4 non-Duke students with ID, and free on Thursday from 5:00pm-9:00pm.
