The Craft, The Tradition, The Celebration of Culture

Along the Gullah Geechee Heritage Corridor, tourism, coastal development and climate change threaten the land and culture of the Gullah Geechee community. On St. Helena Island, the indigenous West African traditions, foods, language and art may be lost forever if the culture is not preserved, shared and practiced on site. To reinstate a sense of self-sufficiency and provide a platform for educating the youth and community on the Gullah Geechee identity, an immersive hands-on learning center is joined together with the historic Penn Center in an effort to strengthen and restore the disappearing culture.
