Performance for Southern Democratic: Harris Wheeler and James Meade
October 5, 2024
Poet Harris Wheeler, Lexington, KY, accompanied by Musicians James Meade and Gabriel Napoli respond to exhibition themes from Southern Democratic through a performance under The Carnegie’s rotunda.
Southern Democratic is a Featured Project in the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial: backstories. Now in its seventh iteration, the Biennial activates over 100 projects at museums, galleries, universities, and public spaces throughout Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Northern Kentucky in October 2024—the largest of its kind in America. The backstories theme focuses on stories that are not evident at first glance. They offer context for what happened previously or out of view, providing narratives not yet told or presented from a new perspective. Once told, they shed light on current circumstances.
