Reflection + Ritual + Refuge | Crosstown Arts

Kacky Walton spoke with Memphis artist Brantley Ellzey about his new solo exhibit, "Reflection + Ritual + Refuge," on view at Crosstown Arts.

The exhibition combines immersive installations, experimental film, over 900 photographs, ready-mades, and 150 conceptual rolled paper sculptures, offering a profound meditation on survival, identity, and the power of ritual in times of disruption. Across media, Ellzey transforms the simple act of rolling paper into a poetic and political statement, marked by precision, wit, and a sense of urgency.

Event Details:
Date: Friday, October 10 — Sunday, January 25 (times vary)
Location: Crosstown Arts (1350 Concourse Ave)

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
