Writer. Southerner. Icon. Eudora Welty has long been recognized as one of the great Southern literary voices of the twentieth century. However, to this day, many Americans do not know her photographs taken during and after Welty's time as a junior publicist for the WPA. Artful and truthful, the photographs create a record of the Great Depression South from the eye of one of its own. The exhibit is a first effort to create a stronger tie between the two art forms so as to more fully explore these photographic images in reference to her complex written works. It is Welty, in her own words, describing the images put before the visitor to this exhibit.
Developed in partnership with The Southern Literary Trail and funded by Alabama Humanities Foundation, the exhibit is the first traveling exhibit designed by the Museum of Mobile. It is a way to work collaboratively across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia to keep alive our memory of this native daughter of our region.

Thurs, Fri., Sat. – 7:30pm Sunday matinee – 2:00pm Two fathers decide that they want their children to fall in love. The girl, Luisa, is a daydreamer with an active imagination. The boy, Matt, is a romantic. The two fathers decide to instigate a mock feud amongst themselves in order to help the boy and girl fall in love. They figure that this feud will give them the excuse to say no to the relationship, which of course will simply encourage the children's love even more. The fathers go as far as to hire El Gallo to stage a mock abduction of Luisa, in which Matt can become a hero and save her. After this act, Luisa and Matt fall deeply in love. Soon though, the children realize their parents staged the feud and their love fades away. Later, after both children experience a little life experience on their own and are hurt by it, they reunite once again with much less drama.
