About The Event

In conjunction with the new exhibition Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor, SAAM presents the world premiere of Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts by filmmaker Jeffrey Wolf. Chasing Ghosts vividly documents the life of artist Bill Traylor, a man who was born into an enslaved family in rural Alabama around 1853. In the mid-twentieth century, he lived and worked in the state’s segregated capital, where he made a large body of drawn and painted work reflecting on a life that bridged centuries and American eras. The film is followed by a Q&A with Wolf. Unrated (90 minutes)
