Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina
I enjoy art museums, and I like taking photographs in them, particularly when an exhibit is especially interesting. The Museum of Fine Arts Boston’s exhibit, "Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina," focuses on the work of Black potters in the 19th-century American South and presents ceramic objects from Old Edgefield District, South Carolina, a center of stoneware production in the decades before the Civil War, together with contemporary pieces. It is beautifully curated and gives "historical insight into art and enslavement—and about the joy, struggle, creative ambition, and lived experience of African Americans in the decades before the Civil War."
This exhibit runs from March 4 to July 9, 2023. More information on the history of this exhibit can be found here: Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina,
