On view December 13, 2024 - February 9, 2025

The City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs presents two photography exhibitions that examine personal and cultural histories of the Lowcountry. Calling Me Home: A Visual Ode to the Low-Country by Marcus Middleton and Children of Indigo by Caroline Gutman will be exhibited at City Gallery December 13, 2024, through February 9, 2025.

Children of Indigo is a documentary project that explores the plant’s painful history in South Carolina and spotlights women in the Lowcountry today who have revived indigo cultivation and dyeing, building a flourishing community of textile artists and homesteaders. Calling Me Home: A Visual Ode to the Low-Country is a tribute to Wadmalaw Island and its environs.
