McLeod Plantation Hosts Pop-up Photography Exhibit

Event Details

Marovich’s photographs explore the lives and culture of the Gullah Geechee people in communities from Hog Hammock on Sapelo Island, Ga. to Mosquito Beach on Sol Legare Island, SC. His work captures everyday moments of work, play, worship and resilience to increasing pressures from real estate developments for the ever-expanding population growth in the Lowcountry.

Seventeen of Marovich’s stunning black and white images are part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. At McLeod Plantation Historic Site on Aug. 20, Marovich will be on hand to engage and discuss the 20 selected images of his work with visitors.

Admission to Shadows of the Gullah Geechee will be included with admission to McLeod Plantation Historic Site on Aug. 20. McLeod Plantation is open for regular visitation every Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to McLeod Plantation is $15 for adults, $12 for ages 60 and up, or $6 for ages 3-12. Gold Pass holders (up to four guests per visit) and ages two and under are free of charge.
