SUMMARY:Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend
DESCRIPTION:Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend\nFebruary 3\, 2024 – June 16\, 2024 \nDive deep into the world of nature’s most mystical sea-creature. \nThe Upcountry History Museum will invite visitors to “Meet the Unicorn of the Sea” when it hosts Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, February-June 2024. \nWhat is a narwhal? It is\, in fact a mammal\, part of the whale lineage.  Narwhals only live near the Arctic Circle\, where climate and sea-ice changes pose a mounting challenge to their survival. \nFrom their depiction in the 1500s as angry sea monsters to their status as icons of pop culture today\, the narwhal\, with its unique spiral tusk (which is a tooth)\, has inspired legend in Inuit and European society and fascinated people across cultures for centuries.  This mysterious animal and its changing ecosystem are highlighted in this special exhibition developed by the National Museum of Natural History and its Arctic Studies Center. \nThrough first-hand accounts from scientists and Inuit community members\, the exhibition reveals how traditional knowledge and experience\, coupled with the latest scientific research\, heighten our understanding of these fascinating animals and our changing global climate. \nThe 2\,000 square-foot exhibition features an 18-foot fiberglass model of an adult male narwhal suspended from the ceiling.  The model is surrounded by banners\, graphic panels\, object cases\, and physical and digital interactives that engage audiences of all ages in the narwhal story. \nVisitors will learn what the narwhal tusk is for\, test their tooth knowledge\, examine a cast of a skull from a prehistoric narwhal relative and compare the different ways that narwhals and their whale relatives have adapted to the changing Arctic environment.  Panoramic images of landscapes and a soundscape of narwhal vocalizations\, ice and water flows and other Arctic wildlife\, will immerse visitors in the Arctic environment of the narwhal. \nAs a Smithsonian Affiliate\, the Upcountry History Museum is committed to bringing “Smithsonian experiences” to South Carolina and to connecting Upstate South Carolina with Earth’s unfolding story. \n  \nSupport provided by: \n

SUMMARY:Vision & Spirit: Black Artists in the Bank of America Collection
DESCRIPTION:Vision & Spirit: Black Artists in the Bank of America Collection\nFebruary 17\, 2024 – June 2\, 2024  \nVision & Spirit: Black Artists in the Bank of America Collection\, is an exhibition composed of more than 100 paintings\, prints\, drawings\, photographs and mixed media works by 48 renowned African American artists born in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  Highlighting key aspects of their lives\, as well as the important objects they created\, the exhibition focuses on these artists’ strength and resilience as creative forces whose work continues to shape our understanding of the world. \n  \nOn loan from Bank of America’s Art in Our Communities program\, the exhibition was curated in partnership with the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture\, Charlotte\, NC.  In selecting works of art for the exhibition\, guest curator Dexter Wimbley sought images and concepts that embody the exhibition’s central theme of resilience.  Throughout this process he continually reflected on the social and political times in which the works of art were created. \nThe exhibit features work from artists born in the 19th and 20th centuries\, but the images and concepts depicted span an even greater period in time.  There are pieces that depict the middle passage – the taking of enslaved Africans by boat across the Atlantic – the Underground Railroad and the Great Migration of Black Americans from the South during the Jim Crow era. \nThe breadth of work in the exhibition further includes portraits of unknown and well-known individuals\, including influential figures such as Muhammad Ali\, Harriet Tubman\, John and Alice Coltrane\, and Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.  It also includes photographs taken during the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement\, as well as intimate and quiet moments in early to mid- century and contemporary Black life. \nArtists in the exhibition include Rev. Henry Clay Anderson\, Chelle Barbour\, Romare Bearden\, Dawoud Bey\, Willie Cole\, Murry DePillars\, Jacob Lawrence\, Whitfield Lovell\, Gordon Parks\, Faith Ringgold\, Jamel Shabazz\, and James VanDerZee. \nSeeking to balance the presentation of figuration and abstraction\, Vision & Spirit also includes the work of several emerging or lesser-known contemporary African American artists to explore the idea that all art exists on a continuum\, and that art being made today is both historically and psychologically influenced by art made in the past. \nVision & Spirit inspires viewers to go on a journey of revelation and discovery and opens the door for greater discussions about the past\, present\, and future of African Americans. \n  \n\nThis exhibition has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in Our Communities® program.

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Resisting Jim Crow: The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall\nPresented by Lahnice McFall Hollister\n“Injustice… is a cancer that is rapidly eating into the vitals of our nation.” A newspaper reported Dr. John A. McFall’s words at an annual program on race relations at a Charleston church in 1936. The details of how Dr. McFall and many thousands experienced the transition to Jim Crow in Charleston is vividly told in the book Resisting Jim Crow: The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall. Found in the Fisk University Library—the manuscript was not originally intended for publication. Dr. McFall’s grandniece\, Lahnice Hollister\, edited and published it in 2021 because “few African-American voices tell our lived history.” \n  \nDr. McFall’s life spanned the years between the end of Reconstruction in 1878 and the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. McFall’s emancipated parents had hoped for both freedom and equality for themselves and their children. Instead\, generations faced white supremacy and legalized segregation. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Salley Mavor’s Bedtime Stitches
DESCRIPTION:Salley Mavor’s Bedtime Stitches\nMarch 2\, 2024 – May 5\, 2024  \nAward winning fiber artist Salley Mavor has spent four decades developing her signature style\, carving out her own niche within the children’s book world and the fiber art community.  Mavor’s three-dimensional embroidered tableaus have been used as children’s book illustrations\, social commentary\, and stop-motion animation. \nFor Salley Mavor\, a needle is her tool\, thread her medium\, and stitches are her marks.  From her home studio in Falmouth\, Massachusetts\, she has illustrated 11 children’s picture books using her distinctive blend of materials and hand-stitching techniques. \nThe Upcountry History Museum will partner with Salley Mavor for the third time\, when it hosts original artwork from her latest book\, My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World\, published in 2020.  The book\, illustrated by Mavor\, features three-dimensional art showcasing “the universal theme of children sleeping safe in their beds”. \nFrom Afghanistan to Ghana to Scandinavia and South America\, both the story and the art connect visitors with a sense of home and familiarity.  Visual clues\, made with a variety of materials including fabric\, beads\, wire\, and found objects\, provide unique opportunities for visitors of all ages to experience the three-dimensional quality of Salley’s storytelling. \nThe exhibit\, titled Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches\, features eighteen pieces of original artwork created for the book. Each of the distinctive sculptural artworks is created like a shadow box\, containing Mavor’s detailed\, intricate designs and embroideries in a 3-D picture\, assembled like a tiny stage set with its own scenery and characters. \nThe miniature children fall asleep in an endless variety of ways\, on hammocks\, straw mats\, colorful woven rugs and futons; in curtained cupboards\, cubby holes\, and quilt-covered four-posters. They nod off in houseboats rocking on the water; next to a warm stove or under the stars on a rooftop; with their favorite toys nearby. The tiny animals that accompany the children in each frame provide what Mavor calls “visual clues” to each geographic region\, as do the traditional designs and patterns found within each illustration. \nThe result is a colorful and immersive experience for a multi-generational audience\, highlighting the universal act of cozying into bed. \n  \nSupport provided by: \n                        \n  \n  \n
