Photographs on views at Photoville Festival, NYC, USA | Phyllis B. Dooney

Inland Storyteller, Phyllis B. Dooney, has photographs on view at this year’s Photoville Festival in New York City. Dooney’s work is part of "1492/1619: American Aftermaths,” a landscape of visual narratives about the ongoing reverberations of colonialism and enslavement in the United States.

Featuring work produced by 25 photographers—Black, Indigenous, Asian-American, Latino, and white—between 2021 and 2025, “American Aftermaths” reconsiders American history during a momentous chapter in the 21st century, bookended by the murder of George Floyd and Donald Trump’s assault on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the first year of his second term. The exhibition also serves to recognize the late, Sara Terry, the revered founder of TAP (The Aftermaths Project). Both the American Aftermaths and a Sara Terry retrospective installations will be on view at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Emma Warren Roebling Plaza from May 16-30, 2026.
