SUMMARY:Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice
DESCRIPTION:June 11\, 2022 – January 22\, 2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDinosaurs will roar into the Upstate South Carolina\, when the Upcountry History Museum presents Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice. Crossing the threshold of this interactive exhibition means traveling back in time to explore the Age of the Dinosaurs.\n  \n\nDinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice is the first child-centered exhibit in the country dedicated to expanding the understanding of dinosaurs and their habitats. Designed for young explorers\, ages 3-10\, the bilingual (Spanish and English) exhibit features three distinct sections that build on a child’s innate curiosity about dinosaurs: Land of Fire (a warm dinosaur habitat)\, Land of Ice (a cold dinosaur habitat)\, and a Field Research Station (complete with a Big Dig experience).\n  \nThe steamy Land of Fire\, present day Montana\, introduces visitors to the Triceratops\, T-Rex and the dinosaurs who called this environment home. Children can circle the land in insect costumes\, buzz through a volcano with oozing lava\, work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals and plants.\n  \nNo coats are needed for a trip across the Land of Ice where visitors meet the dinosaurs who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps\, breezing down an icy slide\, and hopping across stepping stones in an icy river.\n  \nIn the hands-on Field Research Station children and their caregivers don goggles and research vests\, as they uncover dinosaur bones in a dig station and examine fossils to identify dinosaurs.\n  \nThe exhibit builds on the popular fascination with dinosaurs and includes science\, history\, and literacy based activities to challenge all ages. Sculpted\, touchable dinosaurs\, featuring the most recent scientific findings about dinosaur colors\, textures and structural form create opportunities for young\nexplorers to investigate clues that the dinosaurs left behind.\n  \n\n\nBook a Field Trip!\n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n                               \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Fast Lane: The NASCAR Photography of Darryl Moran
DESCRIPTION:September 3 – November 5\, 2022\nSpeed\, action\, danger\, corporate logos\, pop icons – these are the defining elements of Darryl Moran’s stock car racing photographs. The first official photographer hired by NASCAR Moran was responsible for capturing all aspects of the races from 1993 to 1997.\n\nDarryl Moran’s images depict the frantic pace of race day as well as the camaraderie of the drivers\, intimate moments with fans and family members\, and the support and spirit of the pit crew. During his tenure\, the self-taught artist captured such legendary drivers as Dale Earnhardt\, Rusty Wallace\, Jeff Gordon\, Mark Martin\, Terry Labonte\, Tammy Jo Kirk\, and Harry Gant. \nMoran’s pictures were some of the first to capture the emotion of the races and the compassion of the drivers and fans. His images\, taken initially for his own interests\, caught the eye of NASCAR executives\, who felt that they signaled a new direction for the sport’s image\, one that focused on a broader scope of experiences and not just the technicality of the race and its winners. Through photographs\, memorabilia\, and objects\, the exhibition explores Moran’s development of this new vision of NASCAR\, one that continues to shape the images of the sport today. \nThe exhibition also examines Moran’s role as a NASCAR photographer\, including taking all the gear needed for the day – cameras\, multiple lenses\, water bottles\, batteries\, media cards\, and more. NASCAR photographers move rapidly from the media center to the garage\, to the track\, and to the winner’s circle. After the first practice ends its back to the media center to process images\, transmit them\, and rest for a few minutes before heading to the garage or track to start all over. When there is a full-race the cycle repeats itself – when the race ends it’s a rush to the winner’s circle to get the best spot for a photo of the winner. And finally\, it is back to the media center to transmit images to the various media outlets. \nIn its commitment to connecting Upstate local history with national and global history\, the Upcountry History Museum will share the story of Greenville Pickens Speedway which started as a dirt track in 1940. After thirty years on dirt\, the Speedway was paved in 1970. On April 10\, 1971\, Greenville Pickens Speedway hosted the first-ever\, start to finish\, live televised NASCAR Race. Since then\, hundreds of sanctioned NASCAR races have taken place at the Speedway. Though the cars and drivers have changed\, the legacy and thrill of racing continues. \n

SUMMARY:"Meltdown in Dixie" - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Meltdown in Dixie \n Film Screening & Panel Discussion\n  \nIn the wake of the 2015 Charleston Massacre\, a battle erupts in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, between the Sons of Confederate Veterans and an ice cream shop owner forced to fly the Confederate flag in his parking lot. The film explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century and the lingering racial oppression which symbols such as this help maintain.\n  \nDirected by Orangeburg\, S.C. native Emily Harrold\, Meltdown in Dixie explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century through a local look at a battle over a flag flying outside the Edisto River Creamery. The film follows the owner of the Creamery as he tries to bring the flag down. Countering this\, the film also profiles the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans\, who want to keep the flag flying. \n  \n\n  \nAfter the 40-minute film screening\, the Upcountry History Museum will host a panel discussion. All attendees are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the discussion. \n  \nThe discussion will be moderated by SC Humanities Scholar\, Efia Nwangaza. Ms. Nwangaza\, civil/human rights attorney\, is the Executive Director of the Malcolm X Center for Self Determination and the founder and director of the Afrikan-American Institute for Policy Studies and Planning in Greenville\, SC. Joining the panel discussion will be Dr. Sherry Kostman\, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in South Carolina. Dr. Kostman is currently Behavioral Health Director for New Horizon Family Health Services\, a federally qualified health center in Greenville\, SC. Also joining the panel discussion will be the film director and Orangeburg\, SC native\, Emily Harrold. \n  \nWatch “Meltdown in Dixie” Trailer \n  \nAdmission for the film screening and panel discussion is free for all guests\, however reservations are encouraged. \n\n  \n\nThis event is apart of a series of public screenings of “Meltdown in Dixie” organized by the Center for Creative Partnerships at the SC Humanities.
