"Inheritance of the Unstable Self"
Macon Arts Alliance is happy to present their November exhibit, “Inheritance of the Unstable Self”, with works by Jason John of the University of North Florida. “Inheritance of the Unstable Self” explores the concepts of instability of identity and the relationship between figure and surroundings. Through this exhibit, identity is experienced as mutable, layered, and unsettled, forever in the
process of becoming.

Presented by Macon Arts Alliance at Macon Arts Gallery
486 First Street, Macon, GA 31201
Nov 7 - Nov 25
Opening Reception: Nov 7, 2025 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Macon Film Guild Presents: "It Was Just An Accident"
What begins as a minor accident sets in motion a series of escalating consequences.

Vahid, an Azerbaijani auto mechanic, was once imprisoned by Iranian authorities. During his sentence, he was interrogated blindfolded. One day, a man named Eghbal enters his workshop. His prosthetic leg creaks, and Vahid thinks he recognizes one of his former torturers. This sets in motion a series of escalating consequences.

NOTE: Closed captioning at 2pm screening if available.

Storytellers Macon Presents: Defying Gravity
Socials start at 6:00 pm | Stories start at 7:00 pm

Sometimes, life asks us to rise—even when the world would rather we stay grounded. Defying Gravity is about the moments we've lifted ourselves (or others) above the weight of expectation, fear, or circumstance. It's about pushing past limits, challenging the rules, and daring to believe we can soar higher than anyone thought possible.

Whether you've stood up for what you believe in, broken free from something that held you down, or simply refused to apologize for being you, this night is for the rebels, the dreamers, and the change-makers.

Featuring Julie Callahan with Middle Georgia 4 Choice, we'll celebrate stories of courage, conviction, and the quiet strength it takes to rise when it's easier to fall. Because sometimes, when you take that leap of faith, you find out you were never really falling at all—you were flying.

Featured Teller: Julie Callahan

As always, audience members will also have the chance to share their own 5-minute true stories on the theme. Stories are uncensored and authentic—except for hate speech, which is not permitted.

Join us every 2nd Tuesday of the month at Historic Grant's Lounge!

Presented by Storytellers Macon at Grant's Lounge
576 Poplar St, Macon, GA 31201
