@ Richmond History Center
Photography of former slave trade sites by Guest Curator and Photographer Shanna Merola. Opening reception is free and open to the public,complimentary shuttle to First Fridays Artwalk. $10 ($5 for members), runs 1/31/08-8/31/08. http://www.richmondhistorycenter.com/

While photographing pre-Civil War sites around Richmond, Merola discovered that many of the structures used during the city’s slave trade have been erased from the landscape, with few markers to indicate their historical significance. With a pinhole camera, she captured images of the Manchester Docks, Lumpkin’s Jail, and the Negro Burial Ground or, rather, the asphalt parking lots and empty fields that now cover these landmarks. Merola will exhibit her work alongside related objects from the Valentine Richmond History Center collection.
