Abstract

// Summer 2020 Art and Vision • 1 N THIS MOMENT, when connection remains par - amount as our lives have Ishifted to isolation and virtual interaction , I picture an imaginary gathering of the cap- tivating southern artists, photog - raphers, scholars, storytellers, and writers whose work you will explore in this special Art and Vision issue of Southern Cultures, guest edited by Teka Selman. This assembly is loud. There is animated conversation, protest, raised voices, song, and poetry. Intricate maps and collages of southern riverways and African American women’s ways cover the walls. Images of southern sites of racial terrorism reflect past and present violence. Sto- ries of southern artifacts, both human-made and of the natural world—from trees that witnessed lynching to the massive ceremo - nial mounds of southeastern In- dian tribes—speak of generations Jimmy Cohen with son Jerry at a construction site of black and brown southerners in northeastern Arkansas, ca. 1924.
