This week is your final chance to catch 'The Beauty of South Dallas' exhibit in person before the show ends this Saturday, March 19! The project documents the neighborhood of South Dallas and several of its residents, business owners, and community leaders. South Dallas is a community rich with culture and history, but it is quickly changing. The goal of this project is to preserve a period in time that tells us where the neighborhood is before it changes. Over a three-month period, from September to December 2020, Nitashia Johnson has endeavored to connect with the people of the community and use her talents as a multimedia artist/designer to capture the landscape.
