Jared Ragland

Jared Ragland (b. 1977) is a fine art and documentary photographer and former White House photo editor. He currently serves on the faculty in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of Mississippi. His visual practice critically confronts issues of identity, marginalization, and history of place through social science, literary, and historical research methodologies.

As a 2020-21 Do Good Fund Artist-in-Residence, Ragland traveled across more than 25,000 miles and all 67 counties in his home state of Alabama to trace routes connected to brutal colonial legacies—including the path of Hernando de Soto’s 1540 expedition, the Trail of Tears, and the Old Federal Road. By combining a Southern Gothic visual sensibility with narrative captions, “What Has Been Will Be Again” considers the visual-political dimensions of remembrance to confront White supremacist myths of American exceptionalism.

“What Has Been Will Be Again” was made with additional support from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts, Magnum Foundation, Wiregrass Museum of Art (Dothan, Ala.), Coleman Center for the Arts (York, Ala.), the Aftermath Project, and Columbus State University.
