- Bey uses photography to find his voice by him wanting people to experience events that they have not been in physically. One of his projects that highlights this is the “Night Coming Tenderly, Black” exhibition. This exhibition was about recreating the events of the Underground Railroad. The photos are dark unknown places because Bey wants the viewer to experience what slaves were going through when escaping.
