Since 2017, Carlos Diaz has travelled 30,000 miles photographing Confederate Monuments as they are being removed. As a person of color, he is “bravely attentive” to American history and national shortcomings on race and diversity.
In an effort to better understand the controversy and complexity of Confederate Monuments, Carlos hopes his viewers will engage as culture transforms, and contribute to conversations about our changing American experience.
Carlos Diaz is widely exhibited and his work is collect by The Museum of the City of New York, Detroit Institute of the Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
GFT Press is publishing his book, The Confederate Monument of the American South, in 2022.
