NATCHEZ, Miss. – An art exhibition and conversation on race and history will be held Wednesday, April 3, at Alcorn State University, Lorman, in Belles Lettres Hall.
The program is hosted by the Alluvial Collective, Mississippi Humanities Council, and Alcorn State University’s Southwest Mississippi Center for Culture and Learning. It will start with the launch of Mikael Levin’s exhibition, “Critical Places: Sites of American Slave Rebellion,” from 1 to 3 p.m.
Following the exhibition, guests will be asked to join a facilitated dialogue circle from 3 to 4:30 p.m. to discuss their thoughts, according to organizers. On Thursday, April 4, another dialogue will be held at the same time and place. The event is free to the public.
Levin’s exhibition, which is touring the South, features compelling photographs of historic landscapes that were once the sites of slave rebellions, raising important questions for viewers about the history of race in America, said Teresa Busby, executive director of Alcorn’s Southwest Mississippi Center for Culture and Learning.
“Critical Places” will be on display until May 31. For more information, call Teresa Busby at phone 601-877-6551 or visit https://alluvialcollective.org/.
