:: SUNDAY ::

African American Life on the Gullah/Geechee Coast : Photographs by Greg Day, 1970-1977 @ Fowler Museum at UCLA Exhibition opens. Photographer Greg Day has a talk scheduled for Oct 29th at 6 pm at Fowler.

In the 1970s, photographer Greg Day lived in the African American basket-making communities along the Gullah/Geechee Coast, documenting a way of life on the verge of change. Casting for shrimp with nets made as they are still made in Africa, making sweet grass baskets, scraping bristles off a freshly slaughtered hog, dancing at a juke joint on a Saturday night—these rural pastimes would soon be displaced by suburban sprawl, hastened by the destruction of Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
