Still Here: Images of Resilience and Memory is a public photography exhibition and short film preview celebrating Black life, identity, and intergenerational memory in the rural South. This immersive community event marks the premiere of a powerful new body of work from Bay Area visual artist Jon Harrison and offers an intimate first look at a documentary currently in production.
The exhibit features documentary-style portraits and landscapes from Saint Stephen, South Carolina, capturing moments of connection, vulnerability, and joy across four generations of one Southern Black family. These images serve as a visual prologue to a forthcoming film about Issac Bailey, a journalist, professor, and Black man who stutters, as he returns home to confront the silences that shaped his voice and reckon with a family legacy marked by resilience, poverty, incarceration, and unspoken trauma.
Guests will enjoy:
- The premiere of the Still Here photography exhibit, showcasing everyday Southern life in all its complexity and beauty
- A sneak preview of a documentary by the mediamakers behind Proud Stutter
- A chance to connect with the artists and filmmakers behind the Rooted Lens Collective
- Beer & wine
Tickets: $50 (limited number of discounted tickets are available at the link)

This is more than an art event, it’s a chance to help bring untold stories to life. All proceeds from the evening will support our next phase of filming in the Carolinas, including capturing pivotal scenes at Davidson College and a second Bailey family gathering.
Our goal is to raise $15,000 to complete this next chapter of the film. Your support will help us document overlooked stories of voice, memory, and survival in the Deep South and make space for media makers living with disabilities.
Join us in celebrating the power of presence, storytelling, and place.
