As a multi-disciplinary artist and professor of art at Miles College, Tony Bingham is a pillar of the Birmingham arts community. Most recently, his work has been exhibited at UAB’s Alabama Triennial, Space One Eleven and at the Alabama Contemporary Art Center. Bingham often builds his own pinhole cameras from found materials, such as styrofoam coolers and reclaimed lumber from historic sites in the South. Bingham received his BA in Communications from Antioch College, an MA in Film and Community Media from Goddard College and an MFA from Georgia State University.
“I often wonder if materials hold memory. Do walls and floors “remember” who touched them or walked and danced along their polished planks? I pose this question to myself as I consider an approach to art based in an examination of history, or histories. As an African American artist, my practice is dedicated to discovering the legacies and experiences of black folks in the rural southern region of the United States, stories and experiences not typically considered part of the American story.” - Tony Bingham
