Dallas has a beautiful reason to slow down and look closely. Intersections: Photographs by Carolyn Brown is on view at the Crow Museum of Asian Art at UT Dallas through March 28, 2027, celebrating more than fifty years of work by a Dallas-based artist who has photographed architectural wonders around the world.
First inspired by the monumental wonders of Egypt, Carolyn Brown, born in 1936, has spent decades traveling to remarkable places and bringing their stories home in luminous detail. For this exhibition she draws on her rich archive to create new works in triptych — three panels side by side, a format traditionally associated with religious art — inviting viewers to compare textures, forms and layered histories in a single, thoughtful glance.
The photographs feature art and architecture from the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean, including her 2015 view of Hagia Sophia. Brown is especially drawn to the intersections of religion and art history, and to the shared cultural significance of places that people have inhabited, loved and cared for across centuries. Seen together, her images reveal connections that span geography and generations — a joyful reminder of how much we have in common.
It is a calm, inspiring visit for art lovers, photographers and curious families alike, right here in Dallas.
