Jennifer Crandall lets Americans sing of themselves Whitman, Alabama is an ongoing documentary project inspired by the people of Alabama. ATHENS, GA .- Journalist, photographer and filmmaker Jennifer Crandall combines art and poetry to tell the story of what it means to be American. The exhibition Whitman, Alabama, on view at the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia from May 8 to December 12, 2021, features 23 of Crandalls 52 films from her documentary of the same name, screening in a loop in the museums Alonzo & Vallye Dudley Gallery for time-based media. Whitman, Alabama is an ongoing documentary project inspired by the people of Alabama. Crandall began working on the series while she was artist in residence for the Alabama Media Group. She says, I came up with the idea of making a series of portraits hoping to show off Alabamas people but instead of using a traditional interview format, I wanted to use a poem as the common thread. And beyond that, let people speak for themselves.
