Eli Williamson, a visual griot, presents his upcoming photographic exhibition, **The Four Virtues ~ Wonder**, at the Evanston Art Center, located at 1717 Central Street, Evanston, IL 60201. The exhibition will run from January 11, 2025, to February 16, 2025.

This four-part monograph celebrates and affirms the virtue of Black men and boys through powerful imagery. The work bears witness to the complexity of their lives as they navigate narratives that challenge their identities, well-being, and the communities they inhabit. Drawing parallels to the cardinal virtues, the exhibition combines striking images with thoughtful exposition to explore how these Four Virtues serve as a lens through which Black men and boys can be supported, loved, and honored in our society.

The opening reception is on Sunday, January 26, 1-4 pm and free to the public.
