Announcing Open Book, Burnaway’s new book club

📢 Atlanta! 📢 We're bringing Open Book back to Larakin (@larakinatl) on Wednesday, December 9 from 6-8PM EST. Chosen by Carolinas Editor at Large Robert Alan Grand (@robertalangrand), we'll be reading 'Biography of X' in collaboration with our Asheville and virtual Open Book clubs. 'Biography of X' can be purchased in-person in Atlanta at A Capella Books. Learn more about the book club at the link in bio. — Held in-person and virtually, Open Book is a literary program for curious readers who are interested in engaging with stories touching on both art and our coverage region of the South and Caribbean. At a time marked by AI-generated content and declining reading habits, Open Book serves as a space for critical thinking, thoughtful discussion, and gathering. Through this program, we hope to continue fostering a community of engaged readers across our coverage region and beyond. Biography of X was published in 2023 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. From FSG: “When X—an iconoclastic artist, writer, and polarizing shape-shifter—falls dead in her office, her widow, CM, wild with grief and refusing everyone’s good advice, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified. Though X was recognized as a crucial creative force of her era, she kept a tight grip on her life story. Not even CM knows where X was born, and in her quest to find out, she opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, betrayals, and destruction. All the while, she immerses herself in the history of the Southern Territory, a fascist theocracy that split from the rest of the country after World War II, and which finally, in the present day, is being forced into an uneasy reunification.” ​Learn more about Open Book and Burnaway at burnaway.org.

Burnaway is excited to announce our new Artistic Advisory Committee, a group composed of artists, writers, and culture workers who offer guidance about the programmatic and artistic direction of Burnaway in order to support our mission of developing and connecting creative communities in the American South and Caribbean.

Carmen Ferreira De Terenzio (@carmenferreiradeterenzio) reviews the resourcefulness found in Carol Jazzar (@caroljazzar)’s "Anima, Animus" at Miami Dade College’s Kendall Campus Gallery (@mdckendall), Miami. "Jazzar’s choice of materials reflects an ethic of care: borrowed rather than owned, gathered rather than extracted, returned rather than discarded. The drywall and lumber, provided on loan by Blanco Design + Build, will be reused in future building projects after the exhibition closes. The leaves she gathered will return to the earth from which they came. Nothing is intended to become waste." "Anima, Animus" is on view at the Miami Dade College Kendall Campus Art Gallery in Miami through November 12, 2026. Read more from the review at the link in bio. — 1, 2.

Amanda Haynes (@rudelyearly) profiles the work of Ada Maricia Patterson (@ada_patterson_), noting precarity, adaptability, and tempering self as a working methodology for enduring intolerable conditions. "The evolution from the original drawings, which began as self-portraiture, towards the motif of ‘headlessness’ pushes Patterson’s practice into a new realm of possibility. While the pressure of an outside world on vulnerable bodies has long been present in Patterson’s work, previous works of worldbuilding through masquerade centre the creation of bodies that absorb and negotiate the conditions around them."

Rian (Raven) Crane (@venus_az_boi) reviews the explorations of land and body relations through mythmaking in Beverly Buchanan and Dionne Lee's joint exhibition "Divination" at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (@camhouston), Houston. "Divination is burgeoning and ongoing, a Sankofa, conjuring return, ruins and sites becoming referential, an allegory for space beyond traditional exploitative landscape art. The onlooker’s sights are cast down and upward, “[…] close to the ground, forgoing horizon lines, and sweeping vistas […]” The sauntering granular wearing away over time of Buchanan’s temporal works, like 'Marsh Ruins' (1981), alongside Lee’s contemporary photos, collages, and videos, reify Black land relations, no matter how complex, highlighting the artists’ seer-seeing opacities that are rooted from Black spiritual and ancestral practice."

huiyin zhou 徽音 (@huiyin.zhou) reviews the figurative training and herbalist practice found in Isabel Lu (@iisabellu)'s solo exhibition "Shameful Company" at University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Upper Rowe Gallery (@cltgalleries), Charlotte. "In the 'Shameful Company' suite of works (all 2026), Lu’s ghostly, androgynous subjects, depicted against a white aluminum panel, seem to hover on the gallery walls. They sit, bend over, kneel, or speak to each other diagonally in yin-yang-like diptychs. Yellow, blue, purple, black, and red pigments reside in and levitate from the body—shapeshifting between amorphous clouds, bruises, and menstrual flow." Read more from the review at the link in bio!

Kristina Kay Robinson (@kristinakayrobinson) speaks with Willie Birch about his sixty year retrospective at California African American Museum (@caaminla), New Orleans, and staying true to one's artistic vision. "I got in trouble in New York, because I wanted to tell stories. They wanted me to be an abstractionist. I’m from New Orleans, that’s the people I want to understand. That’s the people I feel closest to in terms of speaking to their lives, because that represents my life. " Read more form the interview at the link in bio.

Burnaway takes a close look at "No-Man's-Land", a show inspired by the work of 'Kentucky coal-miner-turned-evangelist' Harrison Mayes at the Knoxville Museum of Art (@knoxvillemuseumofart), Knoxville. "This exhibition looks to artists who work in similarly uncharted territory. Bringing together contemporary practices that move through the borderlands between bodies, spiritual traditions, cultures, countries, and planets, 'No-Man’s-Land' considers how art inhabits and transforms these thresholds, envisioning new ways of being in the spaces between."

Lindsey Cummins (@hillbillycurator) features artfarm (@artfarmcoop), a community arts space in Lexington, Kentucky, for Burnaway's SCHOOLHOUSE theme. "'What is artfarm????' A space in constant motion seems to provide many answers to such a question. Perhaps both a refuge and a fever dream. Yet, at a moment when arts institutions are increasingly struggling to root themselves in the needs of their communities, artfarm reimagines their liberatory potential through acts of mutual creativity and care. Through this cooperative labor, alternative realities and yet imagined futures are nurtured—futures rife with hope and possibility."

Natalie Willis Whylly (@nwilliswhylly) discusses Caribbean artists Ebony G. Patterson's and April Bey (@aprilbey_)'s use of glitter, for Burnaway's SAWTOOTH STAR theme. "In Caribbean nations whose economies often rely on tourism, on a visibility that is promoted by paradisiacal images, light itself (and who gets to be seen within it) is a precious resource. Glitter, in its chaotic and unruly refraction of light (paired with its stubborn stickability), offers an entryway into specific histories of resistance in the Caribbean, and into the way contemporary artists of African descent from the region command attention through a 'visual economy of light.'"

Burnaway visits Fried Fruit Art Space (@friedfruitartgallery), a cargo container turned rotating installation gallery in Wilmington, North Carolina. "A good chunk of our audience accidentally happens upon our space while they are getting a slice of pizza, before their hair appointment, or as a curious wanderer. In these interactions, sometimes we reach people who have never visited a gallery or art museum and that feels significant to us. It is hard to quantify how many people see the work, but there are always handprints and faceprints on the glass as evidence of a visit."

May Howard (@reddsroom) visits the Houston studio of Dominique Muñoz (@domo23), speaking together on textiles inherited from loved ones, experimenting with cyanotypes, and what it means to weave an image. "In Muñoz’s compositions, vibrant geometric fragments derived from traditional Guatemalan textiles form slick fields of color. He understands the power of constructing an image, and employs weaving practices to destroy, cut, and alter structures and patterns. To weave an image is to break the frame, allowing for boundaries of image, representation, self, and home to move and be redefined." Read more from the studio visit at the link in bio. — 1, 3.

Sherae Rimpsey speaks with Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones (@cheyennewj) about Toni Cade Bambara's "The Salt Eaters", Blackness and the politics and spirit of place found in "Introduction: Black Spiritual Ecologies" at The Front, New Orleans (@thefrontnola). "The historical significance of each material and the place it was sourced from is important. It is a direct response to the continued practice Black people experience from colonial and supremacist systemic violence, always an extraction of the material or land. That for me is why placemaking is so central, and why it became the first pillar in this inquiry." Read more from their conversation at the link in bio. — 1.

Leah Solomon (@leahsxlo) outlines artist Leah Jaynes Karp's 1982 mixed media series, made in response to the Atlanta Child Murders of 1979-1981, for Burnaway's STORM SIGNAL theme. "In her collages, the labor of mothering and the labor of making converge, registering both the immediate crisis of vanishing children and the long continuum of Black maternal vigilance. Her work is not simply an act of mourning; it is an act of futurity—an attempt to secure a place for her children in tomorrow." Read more from Solomon's STORM SIGNAL feature at the link in bio. — 1.

Renee Royale profiles Martinique-based artist David Gumbs (@gumbsy), whose interactive installations use technology, everyday objects, and ecological markers to explore memory, ancestry, and the layered histories of the Caribbean. “For the artist, technology can adapt to the environment through the tactile intervention of his hand, offering an equalizing, rather than dominating, force.” Read more from Royale’s profile of Gumbs in Burnaway’s special edition broadsheet, available at the Atlanta Art Fair (@atlartfair) from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4. — 1.

Bryn Evans (@brynevans_) speaks with Marguerite (Margy) Adams (@marguread) and Joslyn Gardner, cofounders of Emory University’s Black Feminist Working Group, about Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s (@madeleine_hunt_ehrlich) “The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire” (2024) and the film’s surrealist approach to Suzanne Césaire, archival fragments, and the politics of seeing. “That’s central to her articulation of camouflage: the tourist isn’t able to see. Beauty itself is a form of camouflage, and there’s a duality where camouflage also acts as a form of resistance. The islands are not allowing people to see through its beauty.” Read more from Evans’s conversation with Adams and Gardner in Burnaway’s special edition broadsheet, available at the Atlanta Art Fair from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4. Come by Atlanta Contemporary (@atlantacontemporary) on Saturday, October 3 from 11am–1pm for a screening of The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire and pick up a copy of the broadsheet. — 1-3.

Amina Daugherty (@cryingbartsimpson) profiles Atlanta-based printmaker and muralist Jasmine Nicole Williams (@jn.ooomami), whose practice brings together art, working-class identity, community, and cultural liberation, drawing connections to the work of Suzanne Césaire. “Culture is more than art as a commodity; it’s speaking, relating, and caring for one another and the world. What grows from the culture being created? It could be mold—something corrosive—or something beautiful and nourishing that evolves until the systems around us have to change.” Read more from Daugherty’s interview with Williams in Burnaway’s special edition broadsheet, available at our booth at the Atlanta Art Fair (@atlartfair) from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4.

Daisy Gould (@daisymgould) considers facsimile and displacement in a Caribbean context, reviewing the work of Barbadian artist Annalee Davis (@annalee.devere) for the 61st Venice Biennale (@labiennale). "This is work that demands time, not just to make, but to sit with, and the tenderness of the fabric diverged from the abrupt immediacy of a tourist’s experience (myself included). Our desire to consume and capture the work on phones and film felt contradictory, yet people don’t blink when this happens to the Caribbean landscape."

Next Monday, September 28: Award-winning contemporary artist Rodrigo Valenzuela visits the Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State University. Rodrigo Valenzuela’s work addresses Latin American sociopolitical history, labor unions, and undocumented workers. It is shaped by blue-collar aesthetics. Autobiographical elements inform a postcapitalist critique of social and civic institutions. His practice blurs documentary and fiction to address the tension between individuals and the way their own communities are often represented. A Guggenheim Fellow and Associate Professor at UCLA, his work has been exhibited at the New Museum, Portland Art Museum, and the Frye Art Museum, among others. — Free and open to the Public Monday, September 28, 5:30-6:45 pm Florence Kopleff Recital Hall, 15 Gilmer St SE, Atlanta, GA 30303 Walking distance from Five Points and Georgia State MARTA Stations, paid parking at T-Deck.

Daniel Fuller (@fuller315) reviews “Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone,” the first major retrospective devoted to the artist, on view at the Georgia Museum of Art (@georgiamuseum), Athens. “Lewis’s biography is so exceptional that it encourages viewers to understand the work through the extraordinary circumstances of its making. But improbability is not the same thing as artistic achievement. In Rome, Lewis built a studio, cultivated patrons, employed assistants, repeated successful compositions, and made things people wanted to buy. She was not simply surviving nineteenth century racism and sexism. She was an ambitious professional artist navigating an international market.” Read more from the review at the link in bio. “Edmonia Lewis: Set in Stone” is on view at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia through January 3, 2027. — 1.

About the film: An actress and new mother (played by Zita Hanrot) is haunted by voices as she embarks on inhabiting the role of surrealist writer Suzanne Roussi-Césaire.

Amina Daugherty (@cryingbartsimpson) profiles the vulnerable, archival artworks of Texas-born, Pittsburgh-based textile artist and printmaker Sara Jean Ruiz (@sarajeanruiz). “This is the future Ruiz is constructing: a life in which self-expression intersects with public accountability. She creates pieces that dissect trauma, then shares them through social media to foster conversations about abuse, estrangement, survival, and recovery. The past remains present. The materials retain their contradictions. The house can still wound even after it has been left behind, but it is Ruiz who now controls the needle.” Click the link in our profile to read the full profile. _ 1.

Mario Andrés Rodriguez (@mayuco_jr) reflects on the lived politics of Caribbean music in his review of “Dancing The Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaeton”, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (@mcachicago). “There are several elements within the genres—the sex, the grassroots origins, and the counterculture sensibilities—that could either be minimised or exotified for the sake of consumption within intellectual spaces. Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaeton strikes an appropriate balance of highlighting what makes these genres unique, in a heartfelt and honest fashion.” Click the link in our bio to read the full review. _ 1.

Register for the virtual book club and the in-person book club at the links in bio. — Open Book is a hybrid program in which Burnaway’s editorial staff will select and announce a new book each season. Featured books may be fiction, non-fiction, essay collections and other forms of published writing and will touch on art and our coverage region of the South and Caribbean. In-person events will be held in different locations across our coverage region in accordance with editor-at-large locations (Atlanta, the Caribbean, the Carolinas, and New Orleans), and virtual events will be held on Zoom within the same week.

For Burnaway’s STORM SIGNAL theme, Tedecia Bromfield (@estrella_lune) profiles the analog and digital assemblages, consisting of everything from handmade paper to serpentine forms, found in the work of St. Thomas-based artist Sonn Ngai (@_he.datboii.legba_). “Across paper, archive, and forgotten belief, Ngai’s method holds: He never asks the pieces to merge. The plant fibers keep their textures, the eras stay unblended, and the serpents coil without a need for an end. Assemblage is how that which remains finds new form and relations, in the open hands of whoever gathers them next.” Read more from the STORM SIGNAL piece at the link in bio! — 1.

Lauren Stroh visits the New Orleans studio of Susan Bowers (@modernpromethea), alongside her life partner Genevieve McKeown (@genevievemckeown), to discuss the literary references and the tonal imagery across her paintings. “Sue is a product of twentieth-century New Orleans. In high school, she describes herself as both a cheerleader and a prom queen (“I was desperate for this kind of love and attention,” Sue says); she has evolved into an ageless eccentric. She was closeted until recently, although she met her life partner, the artist Genevieve McKeown, at Charlene’s, a since-shuttered lesbian bar in the Marigny, in the 1990s.” Read more from the studio visit at the link in bio. — 1.

Mario Andrés Rodriguez (@mayuco_jr) profiles the industrial, yet tender work of Miami-based artist Luna Palazzolo-Daboul (@lunapalazzolo). “The Argentine-born artist explores raw, synthetic, construction materials that reference Goya, create a self-portrait, and elicit a statement about labor. Each piece is what it seems to be, while giving several layers of philosophical quandaries beyond what is visible.” Click the link in our bio to read the full profile. _ 1.

Daryl Meador (@darylceleste) reviews John Akomfrah (@akomfrahjohn)’s six-screen audio-visual installation “The Hour Of The Dog”, on view at The Menil Collection (@menilcollection), Houston. “’The Hour Of The Dog’ unfolds as “Five Parables on Fugitivity and Trespass,” each interweaving present-day footage with archival materials. Historical imagery of cotton fields and anti-segregation picketers unfurl across the screens, along with newly filmed vignettes depicting actors in repose, their eyes closed and hands clasped, surrounded by objects: protest signs, cotton bolls, old televisions.” Read the rest of the review at the link in bio. “John Akomfrah: The Hour Of The Dog” is on view at The Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, through October 11, 2026. — 1.
