Get a behind-the-scenes look into the museums' latest contemporary exhibition, Jagged Path: the African Diaspora in Western North Carolina in Craft, Music, and Dance.

This exhibit will illuminate the obscured history of African contributions to craft, music, and dance in Western North Carolina. Drawing connections from the 17th through 21st centuries, the Jagged Path will demonstrate how African traditions that survived the Middle Passage have helped create the culture of Western North Carolina through interviews, performances, historic artifacts, artist residencies, and more.
