Daddying | Tau Battice
Rio Gallery II | February 1st - 26th | Saturdays, 10am - 3pm
Daddying is an ongoing ethno-visual exploration of Black fathers’ relationships with their sons. Specifically, the work celebrates the Black father dynamic focusing on how fathers value the joy, responsibility, and reality of raising sons in American society. The selected portraits and interviews of “Who’s Your Daddy?” speak to the nurturing character, experiences, and hopes of Black fathers.
