Portraits of Katie B.

Film Photography by Anthony Patterson

Artist Anthony Patterson captures images of "Katie B." alumni using Kodak T-Max P-3200 film, embracing the grain of the film to showcase the photo subject's character and grit, fitting descriptions of the instructors and alumni from Katie B. Such images, as Frederick Douglass noted in 1861, "exert a powerful though silent influence upon the ideas and sentiment of present and future generations." These photographs were taken during the 2024 and 2025 Katie B. reunions in Winston-Salem.

Portraits will be on public view in the fall of 2026.
