It takes time to really know a subject. For photographers Pete Candler and John Hayes, it took 22 years for them to begin to know the South. “In August 1997, we left Atlanta in a 1977 Ford pickup bound, more or less, for New Orleans,” said Candler. “We wanted to see the South that had produced Johnny Cash and Muddy Waters, Flannery O’Connor and Martin Luther King. The South that isn’t on the main tourist drag. The South we didn’t learn about in school.” The result is an exhibition featuring 40 photographs and four short films from seven tours between 1997-2019. The opening reception is Nov. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. with a gallery talk at 7 p.m. —Jo Anne Triplett
