MVMTLS: Movement of Lone Stars
Feb. 10 - March 24 | South Dallas Cultural Center
This multi-media exhibition by filmmaker Adriane McCray centers on a film excavation of a Black collective memory with South Dallas starring as a supporting character. The film's sonic landscape is shaped around interviews that took place in the quarantine lockdown of 2020, tracing the memories of various Dallas residents on the subject of their childhoods. Its use of collected archival footage, present-day photography, home videos, and aged photographs creates a tapestry that travels from moment to moment in stark contrast to the environment in which these conversations took place.
This exhibition is free and open to the public during normal business hours and special events.
