SUMMARY:Gullah Virtual Library with the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
DESCRIPTION:GULLAH VIRTUAL LIBRARY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscovering the Gullah Culture\nThe Gullah people of the Lowcountry are descendants of the enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa\, and their rich cultural legacy endures. The Gullah (sometimes called Geechee) corridor extends from North Carolina to northern Florida including both the mainland and sea islands. \nAccording to Gullah expert Dr. Emory Campbell\,* the Gullah have preserved much of their African language and cultural heritage in part due to isolated living conditions. Gullah artistic traditions such as music\, storytelling\, folktales\, crafts\, basket making or “sewing” and rice-based foods encompass strong influences from West African Cultures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGullah Traditions Endure\nGullah artists such as basketweavers\, dancers\, storytellers\, and singers carry on traditions brought to the Lowcountry. For example\, coiled sea grass basketry has survived in America for 300 years\, and these baskets are now recognized as an art form. Gullah spoken language\, folktales and stories as well as spirituals and gospels are passed down from generation to generation. \n\n\nThe Gullah Virtual Library\nThis Virtual Library was designed to provide educators with resources such as videos\, lessons plans\, handouts\, and digital content. These tools aid in the study of Gullah history while allowing students to experience Gullah arts and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Emory Campbell\n*Former Penn Center Director\, former chair of the Gullah – Geechee Corridor Commission\, co-author of the new book “Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956” and a past member of the Arts Center’s Board of Trustees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCULTURE AND FOODWAYS\n\n\n\nDaufuskie Island Virtual Gullah Tour with Sallie Ann Robinson\n\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Presentation\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Study Guide\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nGullah Recipes\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTS AND TRADITIONAL CRAFTS\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Significance of Adinkra Symbols in Gullah Art with Amiri Farris\n\n\n\n\nPreserving the Art of Sweetgrass Basket Sewing with Michael Smalls & Dino Badger\n\n\n\n\nArtist Bios Michael Smalls and Dino Badger\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nSweetgrass Word Search\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nExploring Printmaking through African Symbols and Textiles Lesson Plan\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nUnderstanding How Symbols Communicate Stories and Meaning Presentation\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSONGS AND STORIES\n\n\n\nGullah Tales with Anita Singleton Prather\n\n\n\nExploring Gullah Folktales through Puppetry\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nGullah Folktales Presentation\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nFolktales\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHISTORIAL SITES AND PLANTATION LIFE\n\n\n\nWhat Tabby Ruins Reveal about Gullah History with Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\nSTEM Activity Engineering Tabby with Rice Cereal Lesson Plan\nDOWNLOAD\n\n\nHilton Head Island Cultural Trail Map\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\nTabby Slave Cabins: Tabby Demonstration\nWATCH VIDEO\n\n\nArchaeological History of Tabby\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\nHeritage Library Presents: Our Storied Island\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\nPenn Center\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLIFESTYLE AND COMMUNITY\n\n\n\nA Visit to the Gullah Museum with Storyteller Louise Miller Cohen\n\n\n\nMitchelville\nVISIT WEBSITE\n\n\nOCA – Gullah Celebration Video\nWATCH VIDEO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRECOMMENDED GULLAH EDUCATION BOOKS\n\n\n \nA Sweet\, Sweet Basket\nby Margie Clary\n\n\n \nCircle Unbroken\nby Margot Raven\n\n\n \nGullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956\nby Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAdditional support is provided by the Winthrop Family Allendale/Hampton Fund which is managed by Coastal Community Foundation of S.C. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n14 Shelter Cove Lane\nHilton Head Island\, SC 29928\n\n\nBox Office: 843-842-2787\nMain: 843-686-3945\n\n\n\n\n2024 Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.

SUMMARY:Rice\, Ghana\, Charleston\, the World\, an exhibit of soft pastels by Lowcountry artist Alvin B. Glen.
DESCRIPTION:Beginning April 10\, Art League of Hilton Head will host Rice\, Ghana\, Charleston\, the World\, an exhibit of soft pastels by Lowcountry artist Alvin B. Glen. The collection\, depictions of men\, women\, and children farming and processing rice\, highlights the hard labor of slaves that made Charleston one of the richest cities in the world. “Their cultivation of Carolina Gold rice forever changed the Lowcountry and added significant cultural influences felt nationwide\,” says Glen. \n  \nGlen\, a retired art teacher from Dorchester\, SC\, began creating historically based works full of social commentary when he taught high school art classes in the late 80s and early 90s. “The students had difficulty seeing a positive image of themselves in history and society. I began creating drawings based on the concerns raised by my students.” \n  \nGlen has exhibited widely throughout South Carolina\, North Carolina and Georgia. He was awarded Best in Show at Charleston’s Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit and was the featured artist at the Moja Arts Festival in Charleston and Hilton Head Island Gullah Celebration. \n  \nThe show runs April 9 through May 10. An opening reception will be held Wednesday\, April 10\, 5-7pm. Glen will also host a Gallery Walk on Thursday\, April 11\, 11am-12pm\, discussing his work\, influences\, and process. The exhibit\, reception\, and gallery walk are free to attend and open to the public.
