Agnes (gallery)

Agnes was a Birmingham, Alabama photography gallery from 1993 to 2001. Shawn Boley, Jon Coffelt and Jan Hughes opened the gallery with the mission of attempting to raise awareness of social issues — such as cancer, AIDS, death and dying, the environment, homelessness, ethics, racism, classism, imprisonment — through photojournalism, film, video, poetry, and book arts. Controversial, Agnes was picketed on several occasions, one of which resulted in a USA Today article on December 5, 1994.[1]

Agnes worked closely with Video Data Bank in Chicago Illinois for short film/vido screenings which included work by Sadie Benning, Jim Cohen, Ana Mendieta and Susan Share among many others.[2]

gollark: A fun bit is that tasks and the privilege level are entirely orthogonal, and the security level of a thing is basically just what environment and upvalues it has.
gollark: All the background tasks are just Lua coroutines. You simply submit a function to run and a bit of metadata, and it runs them in the event loop.
