Amethyst Ganaway on Instagram: "Harvesting Heritage is my homage to the legacy of Black culture and cuisine of the state of South Carolina. I am so excited to begin to share some of the moments from this years events, beginning with the kickoff in May. Esteemed artist, mother, and matriarch @gullahmama and I spoke on so many rich topics and we highlighted her works on the Matriarchs of the Lowcountry.
Thank you to @certifiedsc x @sc.agriculture for sponsoring these events.
Thank you to @preachjacobs for always curating the vibes.
Thank you to @newskyfilmproduction and @crushrushsc for capturing moments of living history in real time.
Thank you @columbiapoet for blessing us with your words.
Thank you to @chefchriswilliamssc and @roysgrille for providing the amazing food and service.
Thank you to @scstatemuseum for believing and trusting me to do this work.
Thank you to all of our friends, families, colleagues and guests who have attended.
And thank you, @gullahmama for being a living example of sankofa, a beacon of hope and a bright light for us all to follow.
Stay tuned - we’ll be dropping more videos soon AND if you missed out on the first three events this year, you still have time to come to the November 16th event where we will celebrate the Black church, music, and foodways of Black Appalachia. Tickets are on sale now at the @scstatemuseum website!
