The South Got Something to Say Digital Exhibition
Gay’s “Ode to Kathryn Johnston,” an excerpt from a performance piece that towers over 101 Marietta. The piece references the 2006 police shooting of a 92-year-old Atlantan in her home, 14 years before the eerily similar no-knock warrant and killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.
The exhibition takes its title from OutKast member Andre 3000′s proclamation at the 1995 Source Awards that Southern artists were as vital to the national hip-hop conversation as West Coast and East Coast rappers. The sentiment also applies to Atlanta’s visual artists, this exhibition asserts. - Felicia Feaster
