The Harvey B. Gantt welcomes the community to experience their newest exhibition, Becoming the Sea, with programming designed for all to explore the show's deeper themes and context.

The Gantt’s weekend celebration of Becoming The Sea begins with the opening reception on Friday, August 9, and extends to a Saturday of discussion, hands-on art, behind-the-scenes exhibition exploration, live music, and more – all of which have ancestral and diasporic influences that form a bridge between Dakar and Charlotte. It is a day of experiences that our community can enjoy.

Voices of Our Ancestors is a two-hour collection of experiences including heritage crafts, storytelling, and sound bathing to honor cultural heritage and personal stories, equip participants with a deeper understanding of the art of storytelling, and foster a sense of community and shared cultural identity.

Led by cultural storytelling platform, Melanotion.
