Events for Thursday, August 18, 2022

Nancy Floyd is a photographic artist and Professor Emerita at Georgia State University. Her project, Weathering Time, consists of nearly four decades of anti-perfectionist self-portraits. “…the photographs show, in fractions of a second, my body standing in an environment (mainly, I’m by myself but sometimes I’m with family and friends) in a straightforward manner for the camera. As time passes, births, deaths, celebrations, and bad days come and go; all the while, the American experience evolves.” Floyd will discuss this long-term project and its greater context, which encompasses the human experience, family ties, American life, and the persistence of time and change. Lectures begin at 6 p.m. and are FREE. Reservations are required.

Dustbowl Revival has always been about pushing the boundaries of what American roots music can be.   With over a decade of sonic adventuring and playing thousands of shows together in ten countries and counting, the group has collected a devoted fanbase coast-to-coast. Dustbowl Revival has never stopped making their joyful, booty-shaking soul songs and cut-to-heart folk-rock ballads that lift up their transcendent live shows.
