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.
Led by local artist Anna-Marie Babington, this is a drawing course fit for all skill levels. The event will begin at 6 P.M. on the second floor of Sophiella Gallery. Entry costs $25 per person and we will offer paper and charcoal pencil packets for $5 to those who elect not to bring their own supplies.
This exhibition of work by Southern artist Vitus Shell depicts Black youth from Dothan and the surrounding areas, as well as others throughout the Deep South to illustrate the aspirational goals of youths and how hip-hop culture can subvert cultural norms. Shell emphasizes joy and pride within his work, embracing the notion that existence is resistance.
