Jerry Siegel: Images from the Black Belt of the American South

Photographer Jerry Siegel documents the Black Belt region of the American South with an unflinching gaze. From decaying urban areas to backwater diners and pool halls, Siegel exposes the cultural values of a region characterized by extreme poverty, rural exodus, and community pride. His determined eye reveals unexpected depths in his subjects, inviting viewers to ‘come and set a spell’ in the company of his images. With compassion and without haste, he captures the essence and extremes of the American South.

Exhibition in conjunction with i45: The Galleries of Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, and Little Five.

Artist Lecture: Sat, Oct 17, 11am - 12pm
