Art shows how Shirley Cards and race shaped photography | Opinion

Artist Jeremy Okai Davis has launched a solo exhibition titled “Presence of Color” at the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. The show, curated by Dr. Tamara Brothers, features large-scale paintings that utilize a pixelated, neo-impressionist style to depict Black figures and historical icons like Angela Davis. The works specifically address the history of "Shirley Cards"—color-calibration tools used by Kodak that were based on white skin tones, effectively marginalizing Black subjects in film photography for decades.

'Presence of Color.' How race shaped photography | Opinion

The Fayetteville Observer explores the historical racial bias embedded in photographic technology through the lens of "Shirley Cards."
