 disciplinary artist Tony M. Bingham lives and works in Birmingham\, AL. Th
 rough his found and original audio work\, large-scale photography and scul
 pture\, Bingham references various sites which offer opportunities to cons
 ider African-American lifeways and ways of memorializing. Bingham received
  a BA in Communications from Antioch College\, an MA in Film and Community
  Media from Goddard College and an MFA from Georgia State University. In 2
 024\, he was awarded the Southern Prize and Alabama Fellowship for Visual 
 Arts from South Arts. Bingham taught humanities and studio art at Miles Co
 llege in Fairfield\, Alabama from 2006-2024.</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;I often wonde
 r if materials hold memory. Do walls and floors &ldquo\;remember&rdquo\; w
 ho touched them or walked and danced along their polished planks? I pose t
 his question to myself as I consider an approach to art based in an examin
 ation of history\, or histories. As an African American artist\, my practi
 ce is dedicated to discovering the legacies and experiences of black folks
  in the rural southern region of the United States\, stories and experienc
 es not typically considered part of the American story.&rdquo\; - Tony Bin
