SUMMARY:Exhibition: Everyday Culture: Seven Projects by Documentary Arts
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n\nCulture is synonymous with the practices of everyd
 ay life\, discovered in the multitude of daily rituals and objects passed 
 on from one generation to the next. This exhibition explores aspects of ev
 eryday culture via seven key projects of the pioneering cultural organizat
 ion Documentary Arts. The seven projects embody a unique approach to using
  film and photography to record and document marginalized cultural forms s
 uch as tattooing\, blues music\, traditional artisanal skills\, and commun
 ity photography.\n\nFounded in Dallas in 1985 by writer\, folklorist\, pho
 tographer\, and filmmaker Alan Govenar\, Documentary Arts mines a broad ra
 nge of media to catalyze creative activity\, energize community engagement
 \, and initiate social change around diverse cultures and regional heritag
 e. It has organized folk festivals\, field recordings\, radio shows\, muse
 um exhibitions\, artist-in-schools residencies\, public art projects\, and
  off-Broadway musical theatre productions.\n\nA key question these seven p
 rojects raise in our era of artificial intelligence is: What is “documen
 tary” today? Can revitalized documentary approaches to traditional cultu
 res restore socially engaged\, reality-based rules of truth\, evidence\, a
 nd witness? With its out-of-the-box\, at times maverick approach\, Documen
 tary Arts is adapting and nurturing a public discourse that expands\, huma
 nizes\, and illuminates our connection to everyday culture.\n\nA book\, E
 veryday Culture: Seven Projects by Documentary Arts by Brian Wallis and A
 lan Govenar\, published by CPW\, will accompany the exhibition.\n\n\nIMAGE
