Branch Museum panel highlights news media’s ‘design and hope’
9/1/2022, 6 p.m.
Members of the Richmond Free Press staff will provide insight into the art and design behind the newspaper’s coverage of social justice protests movement two years ago following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
In the former capital of the Confederacy, Regina H. Boone and Sandra Sellars, both photojournalists for more than 20 years, were on the ground for 65 days capturing the historical moments that unfolded for the Richmond Free Press. The result of their work is the
exhibition, “(Re)Framing Protest: Design + Hope,” at the Branch Museum of Architecture and Design in collaboration with the Richmond Free Press.
“The show represents the communities that were created there, and we were sensitive to that,” Ms. Boone said shortly before the exhibition’s opening in June. “There is still work to be done and we are a part of that work as photojournalists.”
The Aug. 25 panel discussion begins 6 p.m. at the Branch Museum, 2501 Monument Ave.
Gary Flowers, who hosts “The Gary Flowers Show” on Richmond radio, will moderate the panel, which also will include Richmond Free Press Publisher Jean Patterson Boone, Managing Editor Bonnie Newman Davis, and Vice President of Production April Coleman.
