For 60 years, Consuelo Kanaga (American, 1894–1978) used her camera to confront urgent social issues of her time, from urban poverty to labor rights to racial terror and inequality. Consuelo Kanaga: Catch the Spirit charts the artist’s groundbreaking work and life story, shedding light on this critical yet overlooked figure in modern photography. Following an international tour, the retrospective returns to the Brooklyn Museum, which houses the world’s most extensive Kanaga collection. Nearly 200 photographs, ephemera, and films trace the evolution of her art across time and theme, whether portraits of artists or scenes in the U.S. South.
