The event is scheduled for Sat, September 1, 2018, 7:00 – 11 PM ET at Octane 1009 West Marietta St NW Atlanta, GA 30318.
Since our last large showcase a year ago, we’re committed to having a large annual showcase that gives the community a chance to meet a lot of creatives that are their neighbors and for us to create a place where we can attract as many people as possible to come see what Atlanta art is all about. Keep up our feed as we’ll start sharing a preview of each artist’s work and a bit about who they are.

ABOUT MEREDITH
Meredith Kooi (b. 1985, Chicago, IL USA) is an artist, curator, educator, critic, and researcher based in southwest ATL. Driven by curiosity and an eagerness to understand the places where she is, Meredith uses performance, radio, audio, installation, drawing, writing, and the web, among other mediums to dig into the materials of history to uncover narratives that may have been concealed and unseat histories that had been grand. Leaving no stone unturned, Meredith’s projects are not satisfied with the status quo. When working collaboratively, Meredith lets the thoughts, motivations, and desires of others upend her own. Working independently, Meredith critically examines her own history and body with the realization that they are not selfsame discrete entities. Whether solo or collaborative, Meredith’s projects produce space for a multiplicity of conversations that may contradict each other, but work together to create a shared world.
Meredith was a recipient of the 2014-2015 Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs Emerging Artist Award and is currently a WonderRoot Walthall Fellow. Meredith received her MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received a Trustee Scholarship and graduating Fellowship. She is currently finishing her PhD at Emory University in The Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts where she has taught undergraduate courses in contemporary art, feminist theory, performance studies, and Southern Studies.

The Spelman College Museum of Art will present photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi on Fri, September 14, 2018 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM EDT.
Muholi will be in conversation with Renée Mussai, the London-based curator behind Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness.
The event is being brought to Spelman as part of the ACP Lecture Series/Art Papers Live initiative.
Muholi, whose pronouns are they, them, and their, uses their body as a canvas to confront the politics of race and representation in the visual archive.
Muholi’s psychologically charged portraits are unapologetic in their directness as they explore different archetypes, personal and collective histories, contemporary politics, and global events. By increasing the contrast in the dark complexion of their skin, Muholi interrogates complex representations of beauty, pride, and desire. Gazing defiantly at the camera, Muholi challenges the viewer’s perceptions while firmly asserting their cultural identity on their own terms.
Partnerships: Mailchimp, Art Papers Live, Spelman College Museum of Art, Atlanta Celebrates Photography in conjunction with “Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness” on view at Spelman College Museum of Art Sept. 14 – December 8.
Getting There: Rideshare from West End MARTA station or Rideshare or drive to Spelman Lane from Westview Dr. SW or Lee St. (Lee St. intersects I-20). Use parking lot just past security gate or parking deck if lot is full.
