Through photography\, painting\, and sculpture\, the panel will explore the ways personal narrative\, cultural memory\, and lived experience shape each artist’s practice while reflecting broader histories tied to race\, place\, labor\, family\, and systemic inequity in the American South. Together\, the artists will discuss how their works engage both personal and collective histories\, transforming regional experiences into powerful contributions to the ongoing story of Black American art.  \nCelestia Morgan is a Birmingham-based artist whose photography and sculptural practice explores the lasting impact of redlining\, displacement\, and systemic inequality within Alabama communities. Rooted in her own experiences growing up in neighborhoods historically affected by discriminatory housing practices\, Morgan’s work examines the intersections of geography\, memory\, race\, and access. Morgan earned her BFA in photography from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and her MFA from the University of Alabama. Her work is included in the permanent collections of institutions including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Birmingham Museum of Art. \nRoscoe Hall is a Birmingham-based painter and multidisciplinary artist whose work examines histories of race\, identity\, mortality\, and social injustice through layered and emotionally resonant imagery. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Romare Bearden\, Kara Walker\, and Purvis Young\, Hall creates fragmented visual narratives that merge personal reflection with broader historical memory. Hall received his BFA in photography from the University of San Diego and his MA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited nationally at institutions and venues including the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts\, the Dallas Art Fair\, and the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum. \nRichard Dial is a Bessemer\, Alabama-based self-taught artist whose sculptural works reflect a lifetime shaped by labor\, family\, craftsmanship\, and creative perseverance. The son of acclaimed artist Thornton Dial\, Richard developed his artistic practice alongside decades of work within the family’s metal fabrication business\, Dial Metal Patterns. While often working outside the spotlight\, he cultivated a distinct visual language through figurative chairs and sculptural assemblages that blur the boundaries between functional object\, storytelling\, and fine art. In 2025\, Dial’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition at MARCH Gallery in New York City\, marking a significant moment of broader recognition for his decades-long artistic practice. \nSchedule of Events\n5pm: Reception6–7:15pm: Panel5–9pm: Gallery access \nTickets to the event are limited\, and registration for members and non-members is required. Members will receive free entry to the evening’s events. Event admission for non-members\, including access to the Roll Call exhibition\, is $19.71. \n\n\n\n\n Register to Attend\n \n\n\n Member Price: FreeNon-Member Price: $19.71\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n Get Tickets!\n (opens in new window)\n \n \n\n \n \n\nImage caption: Richard Dial\, courtesy of the artist (left)\, Roscoe Hall\, courtesy of the artist (middle)\, and Celestia Morgan\, courtesy of the artist (right).

Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures.

This larger-than-life prehistoric adventure will feature some of the world’s biggest and most scientifically accurate robotic dinosaurs roaming throughout the Zoo grounds. \nAs part of this immersive experience\, guests can also enjoy the new VR movie\, Dinosaur: Evolution\, transporting audiences 65 million years into the past. \n       \nA Prehistoric Adventure Awaits \nTravel back in time and encounter roaring\, breathing giants scattered throughout the Zoo to create an authentic dinosaur safari feel. Highlights include: \n\nTwenty three dinos including one of the tallest dinosaurs ever created — a Brachiosaurus standing 35 feet high; a 40-foot-long Tyrannosaurus rex alongside its baby; and a Triceratops the size of a food truck.\nTwo dinosaur nests – one with three Oviraptor babies and another with five Maiasaura hatchings.\nAn 8 ft. by 8 ft. dig pit featuring a variety of dinosaur fossils.\nA massive Tyrannosaurus rex photo op area in the Zoo’s Plaza\n\n“The dinosaurs are scattered throughout your Birmingham Zoo to give an authentic dinosaur safari feel as guests enjoy their visit\,” said Chris Pfefferkorn\, President and CEO of the Birmingham Zoo. “The Dino Safari experience features 23 full-sized dinosaurs uniquely created under direct scientific supervision. Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures. Featuring scientifically grounded storytelling and innovative visuals\, the experience blends education with spectacle. \n“Our goal with Dinosaur: Evolution goes beyond delivering an unforgettable experience\,” said Rod Findley\, President & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers—where curiosity meets credibility.” \nThe VR experience was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists\, including Phillip Manning (University of Manchester; Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi)\, who also narrates the film. From feathered Dakota raptors to towering Tyrannosaurus rex\, every detail reflects the latest scientific research. \nMore than just a visual thrill\, Dinosaur: Evolution encourages reflection on evolution\, extinction\, and humanity’s connection to life on Earth—drawing timely parallels to modern climate challenges. You may view the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1097701935 \nImmotion’s award-winning VR experiences are now featured in more than 125 locations worldwide. \nDino Safari will run from March 4 to November 1 and is included in the price of admission to your Birmingham Zoo when it is open.
