Roundtable discussion, Georgia Museum of Art auditorium
Panel 1: Reckonings (10:15 – 11:15 a.m.)
Taking the many meanings of “reckoning” to heart, this panel will consider how photography offers a way to reckon with the southern past, but also a means to surmise and imagine visions of the South’s future. The conversation will address Indigenous identity, dispossession and the possibilities of return; kinship, healing and southern memory; and language, folklore and the darker corners of the southern vernacular.
Moderator: Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, curator of American art, Georgia Museum of Art, and curator of “Reckonings and Reconstructions”
Speakers:
Zig Jackson (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara), photographer and emeritus professor, Savannah College of Art and Design
Josina Guess, contributor to the Bitter Southerner, MFA student in narrative nonfiction, UGA
Kristine Potter, photographer (Nashville, Tennessee)
