Richmond native Cameron C. Harris is bringing his photography home for Black History Month, showcasing images that explore connections between diverse geographies.

The exhibit features photographs from Richmond and Hampton, alongside Osaka, Tokyo, Awaji Island and Okinawa, Japan. Harris’ work is on display at Second Baptist Church, 1400 Idlewood Ave., where his father, James Henry Harris, is pastor, and at Black-owned business Juice Life, located at RVA Café & Blasian, 201 W. Seventh St. 

A graduate of Richmond Public Schools and Virginia Commonwealth University, Harris is an independent filmmaker and educator who holds a Master of Fine Arts in film from New York University. He currently teaches in California and has worked in Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Nepal. 

“As a filmmaker, writer and educator, I believe knowledge should be accessible, not locked behind a paywall or buried in jargon,” Harris said. “Returning to share this work in the city that shaped my way of seeing feels less like a presentation and more like a conversation — one that continues across images, words and shared space.” 

The exhibit runs through March 20.
