In the Galleries:


Small Gallery:

Alison Weldon:  ‘She’s A Beaut!’

The images are derived from 1950s-era pin-up illustrations. The pieces exhibited are drawings created with pin and thread, traditional materials used in and for domestic tasks. By using these materials in conjunction with the images, I create a dichotomy between the traditional comfort of the models' beauty and the aggression inherent in the weapons they wield. This juxtaposition not only magnifies the power of the models' beauty, but also illustrates how their beauty, like the weapons they hold, can be used as a tool.

Through October 7th.

Large Galleries:
"What Color the Dawn:
Breaking Silence on the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot"

Visual Artists Respond:
John Abner, Tony Bingham, Hermina Glass-Avery, Michael Harris, Theodore Harris, Daniel Hoover, Chea Prince, Karen Tauches

A listening station of oral histories by first and second generation witnesses will also be installed.

Curated by Kevin Sipp with Louise E. Shaw

September 22, 1906, white mobs poured into the Five Points area intent on racial violence. Inflamed by months of political rhetoric and newspaper sensationalism that fed racial fears and stereotypes, the violence against black citizens spread rapidly to East Atlanta, to Brownsville and Inman Park. In the end, at least twelve were dead, hundreds injured; fearful for their lives, many fled the city, their fates somehow erased from history. What Color the Dawn peels back the layers of this buried history in an effort to challenge our communities to re-view our shared history.

Through September 30th.
