Down in Dallas Town is a startling film about the shifting terrain of public memory sixty years after the murder of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Through interviews with people on the street and songs recorded to memorialize JFK in the mid-1960s, the film explores the impact of the assassination on issues in today’s world, from lingering conspiracy theories to the proliferation of gun violence, homelessness, and the scourge of K-2. The film is now available to stream on Amazon.

On view at the African American Museum of Dallas are two exhibitions organized by Documentary Arts: Seeing a World Blind Lemon Never Saw, featuring the photographs of Alan Govenar and curated by Phillip Collins, and Central Track: Crossroads of Deep Ellum, curated by Alan Govenar and Phillip Collins.

The Deep Ellum Community Center is now open at 2528 Elm Street, Suite A, including three new exhibitions created in collaboration with Documentary Arts: When You Go Down in Deep Ellum, Unlikely Blues, and Invisible Deep Ellum.

Truth in Photography, a photography website produced by Documentary Arts, recently launched its Winter 2024 edition. The site asks the question, “Where does the truth lie in a photograph?”
