Joining traditional sports photography with contemporary photographs of fans by Sheila Pree Bright, Footwork: Where We Gather celebrates Atlanta's sports culture and uplifts the community that sports engender. From Atlanta United tailgates to Falcons training camp, Pree Bright captures togetherness and solidarity in the places where sport becomes tradition and fans become family.

This exhibition is part of a broader university-wide initiative celebrating Atlanta’s vibrant sports culture as the city prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Through exhibitions, programs, and community partnerships, Emory is exploring how sport fosters identity, belonging, and connection—on campus, across the city, and around the world.
