Athens Together, an exhibition of documentary photography of local rallies featuring the work of Penny Noah, Nathaniel Burkins, Sean Dunn and Lucy Calhoun.

Athens-Clarke County with the nation and world, has seen many call to action efforts in the form of activism, outreach, protests, and rallies. These past 12 months has been loud with voices demanding justice for Black Lives, health care for all, education, women’s rights, and democracy.

Here in Athens, these artists have captured a bit of our history during a year of strong advocacy, inspired voices and leaders, protest signs and many gatherings through the lens of a camera.
