Back Home Down South Exhibition Works by Brejenn Allen

Back Home Down South explores what it means to return not just to a place, but to yourself. We follow the perspectives of the artists, one Mississippi-born who left, one Mississippi-settler born away who chose to stay. This body of paintings traces the spiritual geography of home, like the familiar smells, the fishing banks, the quiet rituals that outlast everything we do to get away from home. Mississippi holds things that don't translate easily to those who aren't from here, but make perfect sense to those who are. This exhibit asks what migration looks like when it moves inward, and what it means to be rooted in a place that has always known you, even when you forgot.
