Our publishing arm is dedicated to producing beautiful, authoritative books that might not find a home elsewhere. We champion poetry, fiction, translation, and scholarship from and about the region.
Our annual symposium examines how food tells the story of migration, agriculture, and identity in the South. We bring together chefs, farmers, historians, and writers for a profound dialogue.
Our fellowship program provides artists, writers, and scholars the time, space, and resources to develop ambitious projects. Fellows engage in cross-pollination that leads to unexpected and groundbreaking work.
The Institute's archives serve as a vital repository for documents, recordings, and artifacts that tell the multifaceted Southern story. We safeguard everything from personal letters to folk music field recordings.
The Alabama Institute of Southern Renaissance was conceived as a beacon for cultural renewal. Its founders sought to reconnect the modern South with its complex artistic and intellectual heritage.
We welcome visitors, prospective students, researchers, and community partners to connect with us.
