The Jena Project is a remixed, visual analysis of online speech, as seen through a year's worth of comment threads and discussions of photographs and video made by Michael David Murphy during last summer's trials, protests, and marches for the Jena Six in Jena, Louisiana.
A mixed-media project, The Jena Project pulls back the curtain on America's "conversation on race", while mapping language from an up-close (and often binary) street-level perspective.
The Jena Project
opens at Opal Gallery
in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday, September 12th, at 7 pm. The installation
runs
through the 27th. A panel discussion will be hosted at the Hammonds
House Museum on September 20th at 2:00pm, the one-year anniversary of the
march on
Jena.
