Through the lens of the American Cowboy and its relationship to popular culture, politics, history, and mythos, Shawn Campbell explores new ways of making and engaging with viewers in order to address complex, problematic topics.

Curated by Micah Mermilliod in partnership with The Do Good Fund for ACAC in the fall of 2024, this exhibition is on view at the University of Alabama Gallery in Tuscaloosa. Through the lenses of 8 photographers, history and modernity intersect, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. While not always traditionally beautiful, the allure, honesty, and unpredictability found in these everyday moments resonates like jazz through humid Southern air.

On Friday, June 13, Alabama Contemporary will be working in collaboration with Flip Side Bar and Patio to bring you a prideful PechaKucha lineup during ArtWalk! Our speakers include local staples of the LGBTQ+ community Wanda Doomy, Camille D. Sherrington and Michael Casper speaking about what pride means to them.

Join us on Wednesday, June 25, at 6 p.m. at B-Bob's for a screening of To Wong Foo with popcorn by donation and the bar slinging cocktails for your enjoyment. Stick around after the movie for a special film-inspired drag show where you’ll see more legs than a bucket of chicken.
