Lyric Documentary: The Works of Walker Evans

Location: Morris B. Belknap Gallery
Dates: September 20 – November 1, 2019
Events: Opening October 3, 5:00 – 7:00pm

This exhibit focuses on a two-year period (1935-36) during which the American photographer Walker Evans
created some of the most iconic images of America in throes of the Great Depression. Featuring letters and photographs
from the Roy Stryker Papers, housed at the Archives & Special Collections of the University Libraries at the University
of Louisville, this exhibition includes a special section on Evans’s photographs for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,
a book written by James Agee. This exhibition is curated by MFA candidate Zed Saeed.

Gentlemen’s Clubs: Photographs by Zed Saeed

Location: Morris B. Belknap Gallery & Dario A. Covi Gallery
Dates: September 20 – November 1, 2019
Events: Opening October 3, 5:00 – 7:00pm

Saeed’s graduate work uses the aesthetics of straight photography to capture images of places, and people,
that are off-limits, or inaccessible. The Gentlemen’s Clubs of Louisville often hide in plain sight. Saeed’s photography
of these clubs is an ongoing project, in which he hopes to bring back images and stories of a forbidden space
and its inhabitants. Through photographs made with a large-format view camera, and hours of recorded interviews,
Saeed’s current iteration of the project centers on the women who work in these clubs, and presents their
daily work-lives of emotional labor.

Snap! Mobile Truck Gallery

Snap! is directed by Professors of Criminal Justice Benjamin Fisher and Heather Ouelette, Professor of Public Health
Aishia Brown and Professor of Photography Mary Carothers.

Snap! is a collaborative social change PhotoVoice project aimed at educating citizens and building advocacy for including student
voice in decisions about safety in public schools. A project team of university and high school students, local policymakers,
and professors are coming together to address shared concerns and guide the future trajectory of school safety toward a path
of shared decision-making and inclusiveness. Through a series of photography and writing workshops, students
will share their experiences in a way that will center their voices in local school and district-wide decisions. The students’
culminating photographic art will be showcased in a box truck that has been converted into both a gallery and functioning camera.
Watch for the mobile gallery to pop up in neighborhoods city-wide during the 2019 Louisville Photo Biennial.
