Delta Blues Pilgrimage

The photography exhibit, Delta Blues Pilgrimage,  was first displayed at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette, Louisiana in 2011 and moved from there to the 1911 Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The photographs in this exhibit were taken in April, 2010, as Blues musician Scott Ainslie was touring through the Mississippi Delta.

 

The collection includes Ainslie’s images of the Tutwiler railroad tracks where W.C. Handy, the man billed as ‘the Father of the Blues,’  first heard a slide guitarist in 1902; Dockery’s Plantation where Charley Patton influenced three generations of Bluesmen; the black river town of Friars Point mentioned in Robert Johnson’s Travelin’ Riverside Blues; Johnson’s gravestone, and the towns of Robert Johnson’s birth, and death.
