In this silent video from the "Rice: Seeds from Africa" mini-exhibit within the "Resetting the Table" exhibition, master basket maker Mrs. Yvonne Grovner of Sapelo Island, Georgia demonstrates her technique.
The exhibit examines the legacy of rice cultivation in the Americas, exposing the essential African knowledge systems required to establish what became a thriving industry, and the horrific human toll the Atlantic slave trade took to maintain it. The enduring culture of the Gullah Geechee includes sweetgrass cultivation, basketmaking and coastal subsistence traditions.
