Summary
Step into the soul of the American South with “Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water,” a powerful new exhibition at the Halsey Institute and Avery Research Center, running until December 5. Four visionary artists—Corey Alston, Derrick Beasley, Christa David, and Maya Freelon—reclaim ancestral stories through haunting sculptures, vibrant collages, and immersive installations. Beasley’s oyster-shell figures and waterway videos echo Southern resilience; David’s self-portraits with cotton and crops confront identity and labor; Alston’s sweetgrass baskets honor generations of weavers; Freelon’s tissue-paper bursts inject joy and movement. This isn’t just art—it’s a living archive, awakening the land’s buried memories and inviting you to feel the water, the soil, and the spirit of Black Southern life.
