Curator's talk: Sarah Stacke on the photographs of Hugh Mangum

Curator Sarah Stacke will talk about the photographs of Hugh Mangum, a selection of which is on view at CDS through October 20 in the exhibit "Keep All You Wish." The turn-of-the-twentieth-century portraits are from the Hugh Mangum Collection, housed at Duke University's David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, Mangum began establishing studios and working as an itinerant photographer in the early 1890s, traveling by rail through North Carolina and the Virginias. Rare for his time, Mangum attracted and cultivated a clientele that drew heavily from both the African American and white communities, especially in his hometown. A century later, Mangum's portraits allow us to gaze into the faces of early-twentieth-century Durham and the American South.RECEPTION AT 6 PM; TALK AT 7 PM
