Tomorrow at pull for an artist talk with a group of amazing artists exploring the special exhibition during “Seeing Inside: Community as a Body” 💛

This exhibition will be on view for Clarksdale Culture Capital Weekend at . Pull up for an artist talk with the featured artists and Patience Andrews.

The artist talk behinds at 4 PM. We can’t wait to see you there!

This exhibition begins with a familiar feeling—the quiet intimacy of a family photo album. The artists presented here work in a photojournalistic style, capturing moments that feel both ordinary and deeply personal: living rooms, front porches, gestures, gatherings, neighborhoods, and stillness. These images carry a sense of nostalgia, not as something distant, but as something lived and remembered. They invite us into spaces that feel close, recognizable, and human. Yet even within this familiarity, the work asks us to consider what is being shown and what remains just outside the frame.
