“Southbound: Photographs of & About the New South”

“To be southbound is to journey to a place in flux, radically transformed over recent decades, yet also to the place where the past resonates most insistently in the United States,” says the Halsey Institute of this unprecedented exhibition. “To be southbound is also to confront the weight of preconceived notions about this place....” Join in the confrontation by viewing 56 photographers’ depictions of the 21st-century South, starting with a reception on October 19. Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, 161 Calhoun St. Times vary.
