About

Flow Tuscaloosa draws from the successful restoration of Hurricane Creek, a Tuscaloosa natural resource, to inspire protection of the Black Warrior River and its tributaries and to bring attention to the unique history and ecology of our watershed. We hope to foster environmental stewardship through art-making: we’ll host a series of lantern-building workshops, a celebration at Hurricane Creek Park, and a community lantern parade in the spring of 2024. Our Flow programming in 2022 offered artist exhibitions and a lantern parade in the spring and summer of 2022. See our events page, full media page, and FAQ page for more information.

The 2022 project was organized by Jamey Grimes (Art and Art History) and Julia Brock (History) of the University of Alabama and the Selvage Collective. Selvage is made up of Teresa Bramlette Reeves, Kirstie Tepper, and Julia Brock. The Flow 2024 planning team includes Grimes, Brock, and UA’s Charlotte Wegrzynowski (Art and Art History) and Kendra Abbott (UA Museums).

The project is indebted to the UA Collaborative Arts Research Initiative, where Grimes and Brock were fellows and where ideas and plans took shape.
