Photographer, filmmaker, and educator RaMell Ross received wide critical acclaim, including an Academy Award nomination, for his documentary Hale County This Morning, This Evening. Ross utilizes large format photographs and a DSLR video camera to capture facets of American identity, Blackness, and how those influence life in the South. Ross's method is considered to be a pioneering approach to documentary storytelling, particularly in the approach to presenting the Black experience. The exhibition explores African American life in Hale County, Alabama––the subject of the film––through Ross's vibrant, intimate images and videos. ogdenmuseum.org.
