The solo exhibition "Final Days: Photographs by Hasna Muhammad" opens on Saturday, April 7 at the Gallery at Still River Editions. There is an opening reception from 2 pm - 4 pm. It is free and open to the public. The show runs through June 1.

Muhammad says of the exhibition in her artist's statement, "FINAL DAYS is a collection of some of the photographs taken during the celebrations of life after the deaths of my parents, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. This collection also includes photographs from the final days of my cousins, Donald L. Miller and Karen Fletcher; my father-friend, Dr. Beny Primm; and my friend, Sara Myers. FINAL DAYS captures some of the personal, ceremonial, and farewell rituals that they wanted for themselves and that we wanted for them."

Hasna Muhammad is a photographer, filmmaker, and writer who uses art to bring light to social and human conditions and to draw attention to the extraordinary in the ordinary.
