Collection: Reckonings & Reconstructions: Southern Photography

This exhibition highlights a wide-ranging group of photographers from the Do Good Fund—diverse in gender, race, and ethnicity. Photographs by seventy-three artists, including Gordon Parks, Sheila Pree Bright, Mark Steinmetz, Michael Stipe, and William Christenberry showcase both established and emerging names in photography. Reckonings and Reconstructions navigates the interface between nature and culture in the South. Themes of land, labor, law and protest, food, ritual, and kinship draw from historical legacies where despair and hope, terror and beauty, pain and joy, and indignity and dignity commingle.

On view August 11 to November 5, 2023
