DESCRIPTION:The World(s) She Made: Composing the Radical Lives of Kathleen
  Neal Cleaver is the first public photography exhibit to explore the excep
 tional life of Kathleen Neal Cleaver. It draws heavily from the personal c
 ollection that Ms. Cleaver curated for decades and includes a few images f
 rom other collections such as that of Dr. Doris Derby. This photography sh
 ow chronicles Cleaver’s personal journey from the child of a U.S. Foreig
 n Service officer living across the U.S. South\, Asia\, and West Africa to
  a leader in the Black Panther Party and the international Black Power mov
 ement\; and as she went from living “inside exile” (accompanying her f
 ugitive husband to Algeria and France while she herself still possessed re
 lative freedom of movement) to Yale University as a student\, all while ra
 ising two children\, becoming a law professor at Yale and Emory Universiti
 es\, and building a career in human rights.

 \, You Are Not Alone: BUGS!\, is drawn from the popular meme honoring the 
 ecosystem’s smallest yet irreplaceable members. The exhibition features 
 artists working across mediums whose practices engage insects and their vi
 tal role within ecological systems. Through themes of pollination\, decomp
 osition\, labor\, and interdependence\, the show explores how insects shap
 e the environments around us\, inviting both artists and viewers to reflec
 t on the often-unseen networks sustained by these powerful creatures.

DESCRIPTION:REEL Art: installation Access Point – Work in Progress\nby A
 dam Larsen in Collaboration with Sue Schroeder\nAccess Point is a feature 
 length immersive documentary work in progress that follows individuals wit
 h disabilities as they navigate vast and varied natural landscapes. Throug
 h intimate interviews and vivid on-the ground footage\, the film explores 
 often-overlooked barriers to outdoor accessibility—alongside powerful st
 ories of resilience\, community\, and empowerment that emerge along the wa
 y.\nThe development of the documentary began with a diverse group of parti
 cipantsconnected to Bay Area disability organizations\, including Ala Cost
 a Centers\, BORP Adaptive Sports and Recreation\, The Center for Independe
 nt Living\, The Disability Cultural Center at UC Berkeley\, Friends of L
 ’Arche San Francisco Bay Area\, Creative Growth\, and NIAD Art Center. T
 hese partnerships have provided invaluable insight\, ensuring the film aut
 hentically reflects the lived experiences of people across a range of disa
 bilities. By featuring participants who are Deaf\, hard of hearing\, blind
 \, or who have mobility or cognitive disabilities\, Access Point highlight
 s the many ways disability intersects with the natural world. It becomes n
 ot just a story of overcoming obstacles\, but also one of the universal hu
 man desire to engage with the outdoors—underscoring the transformative p
 ower of nature for all. Partnerships and participation in Access Point\nar
 e currently expanding\, broadening its reach beyond the Bay Area to commun
 ities across the United States.\nAs participants explore outdoor spaces—
 from hiking trails and national parks to beaches\, forests\, and rivers—
 Access Point reveals the barriers people face\, including limited accessib
 ility\, lack of resources\, and social or cultural exclusion. Each partici
 pant brings a unique relationship to nature: some are seasoned explorers w
 hose access has been constrained\, while others are encountering these lan
 dscapes for the first time.\nThrough their experiences\, the film captures
  the joy\, reflection\, and sense of empowerment that nature can inspire w
 hen inequities in access are addressed. At its core\, Access Point is a st
 ory about inclusion\, equity\, and the right to experience the outdoors. I
 t asserts that access to nature is a fundamental right not a privilege— 
 and examines how inaccessible outdoor spaces intersect with broader societ
 al inequities. By connecting the disability community with the environment
 al movement\,the film emphasizes that inclusive outdoor spaces are essenti
 al to a just and equitable society. It encourages a rethinking of how publ
 ic spaces are designed and used\, fostering collaboration between environm
 ental and disability advocates and sparking a broader conversation about a
 ccess\, equity\, and belonging.\nUltimately\, Access Point invites viewers
  to reflect on their own relationships to the natural world and to envisio
 n a future where outdoor spaces are welcoming to everyone. Through compell
 ing storytelling and the beauty of natural landscapes\, the documentary ad
 vocates for a world in which nature is a shared space—accessible\, engag
 ing\, and inspiring for all.

DESCRIPTION:Spalding Nix Fine Art is thrilled to present BECOMING\, a seri
 es of four exhibitions by Khalilah Birdsong\, Gretchen Wagner\, Mary Robin
 son and Angela Carter. Together\, the exhibitions explore transformation 
 – how memory\, material\, color\, place and human connection shape what 
 we carry forward and what we become. Khalilah Birdsong’s “There but fo
 r the Grace of You Go I” is a series of layered abstract paintings that 
 consider how memory\, grace and human connection shape our capacity for re
 surgence\, inviting us to reflect on our responsibility to one another. Gr
 etchen Wagner’s “Color Interaction VI” is part of an ongoing series 
 of printed\, stitched and folded mixed media works that investigates how c
 olor responds when it is asked to occupy three-dimensional space. Mary Rob
 inson’s “After Before” is a series of abstract works inspired by the
  continual flux of life\, utilizing materials and remnants from past works
  through the processes of painting\, printmaking and collage. Angela Carte
 r’s “Indigo Sunshine” is a series of quilt-inspired mixed media work
 s exploring memory\, place\, movement\, and the ways fragments of experien
 ce can be transformed into something new and whole. \nOpening Reception: F

  and unforgettable revelry \nBèl Rèv\, Atlanta’s dreamy circus dinner 
 theater\, will premiere with proof-of-concept shows at LOOP in West Midtow
 n on September 18 & 19\, 2026. The debut experience will weave live circus
  performances\, a curated four-course dinner\, music\, drag\, storytelling
 \, and artful design into an evening where imagination becomes tangible an
 d possibility feels expansive. \nFounded by movement artist and engineerin
 g graduate Monica Martelly\, in collaboration with executive chef and culi
 nary creative Mwandisha Gaitor of 2 Pieces of Toast\, Bèl Rèv was create
 d to expand what live performance can be in Atlanta. Its mission is to pro
 duce bold\, engaging experiences while creating more space\, visibility\, 
 and professional opportunities for the city’s creatives\, particularly a
 rtists from historically marginalized communities. \nWith Atlanta’s cele
 brated food scene and thriving arts communities\, Bèl Rèv offers a disti
 nctive opportunity to bring culinary and performing arts together. Every p
 art of the evening is thoughtfully connected\, inviting guests to experien
 ce the food\, performances\, music\, and environment as one unfolding stor
 y. \nThe multidisciplinary production will feature a unique variety of cir
 cus acts\, live music\, drag\, and interactive art installations. Guests w
 ill be guided through the journey by the Dreamweaver–portrayed by Atlant
 a drag phenomenon Dotte Com–and a diverse cast of artists will perform p
 ieces inspired by different dream archetypes: the surreal\, the beautiful\
 , the bizarre\, and the hopeful. From aerial acts and juggling to flying p
 ole\, each performance contributes to a larger story about the magic of dr
 eaming big and lifting each other up. \nThroughout the evening\, four cura
 ted courses complement the performance\, crafted using local\, seasonal\, 
 and sustainable ingredients. Guests will have the choice of “Earth\,” 
 “Land\,” or “Sea” entrees\, each thoughtfully composed and beautif
 ully plated. Food is woven into the Bèl Rèv experience as part of the st
 orytelling\, not simply served alongside it\, creating moments of connecti
 on\, indulgence\, and surprise as the performance unfolds. The result is a
  culinary experience designed to engage the senses and enhance the journey
 . \nAs a proof-of-concept production\, Bèl Rèv is designed to demonstrat
 e the artistic impact and market potential of a permanent circus dinner th
 eater in Atlanta. Backed by experienced circus performers\, technical desi
 gners\, local culinary leaders\, musicians\, and event production professi
 onals\, Bèl Rèv is building a sustainable model for multidisciplinary co
 llaboration and high-caliber live productions\, while providing an unforge
 ttable and inspiring experience for dreamers from all walks of life. \n“

DESCRIPTION:Charis and the Georgia Center for the Book welcome Marlon Jame
 s in conversation with Doug Jones for a celebration of The Disappearers. \
 nThis is an in-person only event and registration is required. RSVP here. 
 This event takes place at the First Baptist Church of Decatur\, 308 Claire
 mont Avenue Decatur\, GA 30030. Doors open at 6:30pm. Event begins promptl
 y at 7:00pm. \nCharis and the Georgia Center for the Book welcome Marlon J
 ames in conversation with Doug Jones for a celebration of The Disappearers
 \, a propulsive novel about the murder of a gay man in 1980s Jamaica and i
 ts tragic consequences. \nIn 1988\, eight men in Kingston\, Jamaica\, begi
 n rehearsals for a play. The men are strangers to one another and each has
  a different reason for being involved. But they all share one inescapable
  truth: All of them are gay―a “battyman” in Jamaican argot―and all
  of them must contend with the dangers that such a truth lays bare. \nOne 
 night a mob savagely attacks them\, killing one of the men. For the surviv
 ors\, their recovery is as much emotional as it is physical. As their bodi
 es heal\, each man grapples with the violence\, the hatred\, and the rage 
 that the attack made plain. Some try to ignore what the attack has unearth
 ed\, while others double down on retribution. \nIn The Disappearers\, Marl
 on James has written a riveting and deeply human story of men forced to ma
 ke compromises to survive what the society they live in demands. It is bot
 h a dramatic page-turner and an unflinching exploration of queer life in J
 amaica during the 1980s and 1990s. \nAbout the author \nMarlon James is th
 e Booker Prize–winning and New York Times bestselling author of A Brief 
 History of Seven Killings\; the bestselling and National Book Award finali

 ok Critics Circle Award and the NAACP Image Award. In 2019\, Time magazine
  named him one of the one hundred most influential people in the world. Bo
