VIEWING: The Pheonix Collection and Atlanta’s Histories

A guided conversation with Atlanta archeologists about the Pheonix Project, and the collection of over 100,000 artifacts collected by Georgia State archeologists in the 1970’s from a number of sites identified alongside the construction of a new public transportation system called the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, better known as MARTA. About 2 dozen pieces will be on view, some dating from the late 19th century and early 20th century, an important period in Atlanta’s history after the Civil War.

___________

an arabesque in histories is a new site-based intervention at The Zero Mile Post, the oldest landmark in Atlanta. Created and organized by glo, in collaboration with advocacy effort Thread ATL, and Department of Anthropology, Georgia State University, an arabesque in histories elicits choreography to demonstrate a compelling and nuanced need to use the archival materials on site as a way for systems and actions to be poetic connectors to serve citizens of today.

The project runs January 28- February 3, 2018.
