Teju Cole: Go Down Moses Exhibition and Publication

The Museum of Contemporary Photography received a grant to support the exhibition and publication of Teju Cole's Go Down Moses.

Organized by acclaimed writer, photographer, and critic Teju Cole, the exhibition Go Down Moses presents a reinterpretation of the Museum of Contemporary Photography’s permanent collection that can be understood as a visual tone poem. Exploring elemental themes of movement, chaos, freedom, and hope, Cole uses the photographic archive to interweave the past and present, suggesting an aesthetic approach to understanding both human suffering and compassion.
