SouthTalks: Snapshot: Climate, Exhibition and Conversation

“Snapshot: Climate, Exhibition and Conversation”

Vanessa Charlot, Kariann Fuqua, and Brooke White

In the fall of 2023, Southern Cultures published Snapshot: Climate. This issue featured more than sixty photographs and accompanying short reflections from artists, activists, photojournalists, and scientists to provide a “snapshot” of climate impacts across the South. The feature became a traveling exhibit featuring twenty-five photographs from the issue. The exhibit Snapshot: Climate will open in the Gammill Gallery in Barnard Observatory on January 21 and close on February 28. In this SouthTalk, University of Mississippi professor Kariann Fuqua will moderate a conversation with two featured artists in Snapshot, Vanessa Charlot and Brooke White.

Vanessa Charlot is an award-winning photographic artist, filmmaker, and assistant professor of media and communication at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism and New Media. Brooke White is director of the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Kariann Fuqua is an instructional assistant professor of art and the director of the Museum Studies Program at the University of Mississippi.

SouthTalks is a series of events, including lectures, performances, film screenings and panel discussions, exploring the interdisciplinary nature of Southern Studies, sponsored by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture. All events are free and open to the public.
