Slave Dwelling Project, Historic Charleston, and the Gaillard join for ambitious event recognizing African-American cultural contributions
In one of the more ambitious multimedia/historical/artistic projects we’ve seen in a while, the Slave Dwelling Project, Historic Charleston Foundation, and the Gaillard Center are coming together to present Prints in Clay, an “artistic and educational exploration into the many contributions of African Americans to the history and culture of the community.” The day-long event takes place on Sat. Sept. 15 and tickets start at $40.
Prints in Clay starts with a “Beyond the Big House” tour at 1 p.m., where guests can “step inside the back buildings and former work lots of Charleston’s private houses.” The tour starts at the Gaillard, moving through several properties associated with African Americans, both free and enslaved, in the nearby neighborhoods of Mazyck-Wraggborough and Ansonborough.
