Coming out of hibernation

EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT | Austin Bryant 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 The Griffin Museum is thrilled to present the work of Austin Bryant (@ausbry ) as part of our 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 exhibition. Bryant is a photographer and writer based in Boston, Massachusetts. His work concerns communities of color and the landscape on which they remain. Through intimate connections with both people and place, he aims to memorialize the histories that have been forsaken or systematically erased. On view in our Atelier Gallery from January 9th through March 15th, 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 is a photographic project that serves as a memorial to the African American and Wampanoag indigenous communities on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. These two groups have had their histories intertwined on the island as they have faced centuries of displacement and oppression—often finding stability only in each other and the land on which they persist. The artist shares: “The project primarily consists of my photographs of both the people and the landscape they have shared. I aim to evoke the spiritual connection that these people have with the land through portraiture and sites with significance to either group. My connection to the work and place is direct—I have visited the island since I was a child, where I have long found comfort in seeing interracial and Black families like mine.” Visit us in Winchester or online at to learn more about 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 and our annual exhibition program, 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯.
