The 100th Anniversary of the Atlanta Race Riot
and
Blackbird on Your Shoulder: Stories and
Other Truths from the South

"Fence" by Lisa Tuttle

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Atlanta
Race Riot of 1906, series of initiatives and events, exhibits,
discussions, and workshops have been organized to increase public awareness
of this event in the city’s history.
As part of the memorial, Agnes Scott’s
Dalton Gallery will be hosting an exhibition entitled "Blackbird
on your shoulder: stories and other truths from the South" from
October 12- November 20, featuring Lisa Tuttle’s
“Fence,” an evocative and engaging installation
focusing on storytelling, race, class and labor. The exhibition will
also feature works by other visual artists, writers and performers,
who are inspired by (auto)biography and storytelling, and have a deep
attachment to the southeastern United States. Their essays and poems
will be installed among photographs, drawings, and sculptural installation.
The exhibition will integrate multiple disciplines united in creative
processes, with video, music and spoken word coming together in multifarious
voices telling of lives lived.
In McCain Library, we have compiled a bibliography
featuring books, journal articles and websites about the riot and the
history of the city to accompany the display appearing in McCain Library,
first floor lobby.
