Brevard Institute Shows Southern Traditions

For the next two weeks, the Brevard Institute on the campus of the University of Mississippi will be displaying an exhibit titled “Southern Crossings: Where Geography and Photography Meet.” The exhibit displays numerous pictures taken throughout the south.

The pictures come from anywhere between Washington County, MS to Beaufort, South Carolina. In addition to the photographs, there is also a large amount of memorabilia collected from many years ago.

 Included in the memorabilia section are packs of Lynyrd Skynyrd Incense with a woman in a Confederate flag bikini top. Elvis Presley trading cards can also be found in the exhibit. David Wharton, an employee at the Brevard Institute offered some insight about the theme of the next display in the Brevard Institute.

“Kate Medley, a former graduate student, will have her photographs shown. She works part-time as a photographer for Whole Foods, taking pictures of the organic food being grown and not being grown in a corporate manner.”
