Learning from Edgefield

Join us for presentations, performance, and dialogue to reckon with some of the complex issues at the heart of the exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, which features the work of enslaved potters in the 19th-century American South. With the insight of artists, historians, museum leaders, and preservationists, explore best practices around working with descendant communities and important African American cultural heritage sites, and consider how museums collect, display, and interpret objects created by enslaved makers.
