The third year of Allumer Natchez is moving to Downtown Natchez. The event is open air, visitors walk from installation to installation, digital and printed maps are provided. The projects will be located all over Downtown and onto The Bluff. Allumer Natchez is far more accessible this year, and as always it is free and open to the public.
This year at Allumer Natchez, Mississippi’s only annual light based art exhibition and festival, university level new media students will create 17 2D paper-cut animations based on historical figures of the Natchez community. These animated figures will orate their short biography via voice over including relevant narratives that outline their impact on the development of Natchez from its inception as a Native American led community until today. The projections will run from dusk until 10pm, on Friday and Saturday nights. Students will be onsite talking with viewers about their historical figure of choice, why they chose the person and commenting further on the subject’s impact on Natchez.
