Join us at SoundWaves as our Gullah Cultural Series continues its second year celebrating highlights of the February 2024 Hilton Head Island Gullah Celebration, embracing the inspiringly unique native island art and culture we have all around us here on Island. NIBCAA Board Chair and emcee, Dr. Roselle Wilson, will expertly guide us through the evening first chatting with South Carolina native, artist Alvin Glen, who will speak both from the perspective of an artist and art teacher. Wilson will also speak with Port Royal and St. Helena Island native Tendaji Bailey, visionary artist and founder of the Gullah Geechee Futures Project, and his dedicated work educating the public about the rich history and culture of Gullah Geechee communities. The two sets are interspersed with music performed by GCS house band, the Lavon Stevens Trio, led by Lavon and featuring Tendaji.
