We are excited to welcome our newest exhibition, On Contentious Ground. Join us on June 11 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for the opening reception featuring light snacks and a decaf coffee bar.
On Contentious Ground is a series of medium and large format photographs focused on visitors to American Civil War sites and landscapes. By documenting how people move through and reflect within these spaces, Powell captures the reverberations of the Civil War as they echo into the present.
The work explores themes of identity, memory, division, and historical reckoning. By photographing both people and place, the exhibition asks how Americans continue to relate to a past that remains deeply formative and unresolved.
