Today is the LAST DAY to see our Biennial Student

Today is the LAST DAY to see our Biennial Student Show - Emerging Vision (gallery hours are from 12 - 4 pm). ⁠
⁠
Featured here is Trent Bozeman (@trentbozeman) with his photograph "To The Soil." About three years ago, Trent started focusing on his family's history based on the sea island communities of South Carolina. ⁠
⁠
"What started out as a more documentary approach with the focal point being how these communities thrived in isolation has shifted towards focusing on the role that land, religion, and West African traditions play within these communities."⁠
