PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
2021 Exhibit
The Start Of Something Special
In November 2020, James and LaToya Carey from Kenneth Grant Inzpirations (KGI) searched the term "black male" online for inspiration while working on a client project. They were shocked by the results. Most of the images they found showed black men in prison or involved with drugs, creating a negative and false impression of the Blackl community for anyone searching at that time. This experience, along with other troubling findings, led to the creation of our first public exhibit, rePresent (now called Cultuvue).
Cultuvue is a charitable project, not a political one. We are driven by a love for what we do, not by social activism. We teamed up with One Daytona, our venue host, to bring our vision to life. Our first exhibit, which attracted 1,000 visitors in just two days, showed the community's interest and sparked our passion. The Cultuvue Photography Exhibition highlights the beauty of the Black experience in our local community.
HIGHLIGHTING THE COMMUNITY
Cultuvue is a gift we share with the world, offering people a chance to experience culture in a fresh way. It is a free, community-focused project by KGI that highlights the stories of people of color who are often overlooked or underrepresented, showcasing their experiences through the perspective of the local community. Here are some of the individuals featured in our 2021 exhibition.

We Must Admit, We Had Fun
At Cultuvue, we create inspiring portraits paired with detailed stories. These portraits and their stories are showcased in a free, carefully designed exhibition. Our goal is to promote visual storytelling that fosters better communication and understanding between different ethnic groups. Check it out:
