Teenie Harris at The Warhol

Carryin’ On
June 16 -- September 2, 2007

A three-part exhibition of work exploring gender identity and exploration during the era of family values. Charles “Teenie” Harris shots during the 1930’s and ‘40’s are highlighted in Carryin’ On. The photographer’s vision of the Black queer experience in Pittsburgh’s Hill District during this period and similar themes are also observed with African photographer Samuel Fosso, and Andy Warhol’s 1975 series, Ladies and Gentleman.
