About This Program
Join us for an intimate gathering to celebrate the Harvey B. Gantt Center's new exhibition, Container / Contained: Phil Freelon - Design Strategies for Telling African American Stories. The exhibition examines Freelon's work, including museums, libraries, cultural centers, and public parks, with a focus on projects that foreground African American communities and identities. Freelon often noted that architecture should be more than a container, that it should help tell the story of, and be integral to, the content of these public institutions.
Container / Contained was researched, curated, and designed by a team of faculty and students led by Dr. Emily G. Makaš, University of North Carolina at Charlotte School of Architecture.
Your support helps the Gantt present exceptional exhibitions, leading scholars and engaging programs that celebrate the African-American story.
