Join us as we unpack the artwork of Heirlooms: The Black South Collection, a collection of artworks currently on display at MUSC containing works from South Carolina artists Kela Portee and Amiri Farris. This special event consists of…
? An Artist Talk: Hear from Kela Portee and Amiri Farris as they unpack the stories being told in their artworks. Arts in Healing will also offer guided tours of the collection with insight into its' origins and creation.
? Archiving: We invite you to bring your personal heirlooms to be digitally scanned for you to hold close to your heart within your own archive. You may bring family photographs, film or flat memorabilia up to 8.5" x 11".
*Please limit your items to 3 larger items (8.5" x 11”) or 5 smaller items (less than 8.5" x 11")
? Live Painting: Watch Amiri Gueka Farris paint a new addition to the Black South Collection! Using personal heirlooms and community-derived items, he will create the final artwork to add to the collection.
