Grass Roots: African Origins of an American Art
February 4 - March 13, 2010
"Explore the history of coiled basketry in Africa and America with this traveling exhibition from the Museum for African Art. Grass Roots trace the evolution of an ancient art while examining rice-growing societies which, through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, exported their cultures to America. The exhibition features baskets from the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia as well as from diverse regions of Africa, and artifacts, such as basket-making tools and rice cultivation relics."
