IN FOCUS - SHEILA PREE BRIGHT

Today Maybe Forever

Photographic Artist Sheila Pree Bright joins cultural producer Floyd Hall in this discussion about photography, Atlanta, and using the camera to document social conditions, activism/protest, and human stories. Recorded live at Gallery 72, Pree Bright reflects on the gallery's current exhibition, “Rusty Miller: The Compassionate Eye in Forgotten Atlanta,” and shares some thoughts on how the images correspond to some of the subjects in her work, the notion of claiming/reclaiming identity, and the role of hip-hop artists as social catalysts. This conversation is presented in collaboration with the Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.
