The exhibition is part of the "Picturing the South" initiative established by the High in 1996. Since then the museum has commissioned a total of nine photographers to shoot photos inspired by the region.
The 76 prints will go on view Saturday alongside an exhibition from The Museum of Modern Art in New York called "Picturing New York." A related exhibition, "Revisiting the South: Richard Misrach's Cancer Alley," is also on view.
The three photographers chosen for the latest installment of "Picturing the South" are British documentary photographer and photojournalist Martin Parr, Dallas-based documentary photographer and photojournalist Kael Alford, and Vermont native Shane Lavalette.
