Shout! Freedom and Foodways
- Saturday, May 30, 2026 5pm - 6:30pm
Fresh Arts Gallery, Winter Street Studios C105
Pull up a chair and join the circle. Part performance, part communal gathering, part feast, Shout! Freedom and Foodways is an intimate, immersive experience that transforms the gallery into a living home. As the ring shout circle forms around you, the story of French Town, Gullah-Geechie culture, and the long journey of okra from Africa to the American South unfolds through stepping, live music, and spoken word. Between and alongside the performance, guests share in a tasting of the foods central to the Shout! story that carry memory, and resilience in every bite. This is not a show you watch from a distance. You are part of the circle, part of the community, part of the story. Come hungry - for food, for history, and for connection.
