The Mint Museum Uptown’s new exhibition “Southern/Modern” surveys the South’s artistic contributions during the first half of the 20th century, showcasing over 100 paintings and prints that explore the social history of the period, including industrialization, Jim Crow and mass migration.
Curated by the Mint’s own Jonathan Stuhlman, alongside independent scholar Martha Severens, Southern/Modern is an invitation to reconsider the South’s artistic legacy and its relevance to Charlotte’s history and identity.
Stuhlman joins us to share insights into the curation of the exhibition, and local Charlotte historian Pamela Grundy will connect the works to the broader narrative of Charlotte in the first half of the 20th century.
GUESTS:
Jonathan Stuhlman, senior curator of American art at the Mint Museum and co-curator of the exhibition
Pamela Grundy, local Charlotte historian and author of "Legacy: Three Centuries of Black History in Charlotte, North Carolina"
