We do this by providing orange cardboard recycling corrals around campus where residents can leave their empty boxes to be collected and properly recycled. We will also host Cougar Free Store Pop-Ups where select items collected from Mindful Move-Out will be redistributed to the campus community free of charge.

Help us with our Mindful Move-In Program! Volunteers will help to collect and recycle cardboard, assist in event set up and break down, and operate the pop-ups. We're in need of volunteers from August 10th-16th.

Guest-curated by Lauren Jackson Harris, this exhibition features artwork by Corey Alston, Christa David, Derrick Beasley and Maya Freelon. This is a collaboration with the Avery Research Center.

What to expect:

View fabulous contemporary art in our galleries Mingling with drinks and light bites Meet the artistsLearn more about their practices with a short documentary in our video cavern Peruse art books in our Halsey Library Revel with other Charleston art lovers in a festive setting

Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water explores ancestral narratives and the enduring relationships between land, water, memory and Black life in the American South. Bringing together the work of Maya Freelon, Corey Alston, Christa David and Derrick Beasley, this collaborative exhibition between the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture considers how ancestral knowledge is carried across generations. Rooted in resilience, creativity and connection, this exhibition explores how the past traverses the body, the land, material traditions and acts of imagination. The artists reveal that the histories embedded in Southern soil and waterways are not static remnants of the past, but living systems of knowledge that continue to shape contemporary Black life while offering pathways toward collective futures.

The partnership between the Halsey Institute and the Avery Research Center underscores the exhibition’s central premise: History is not confined to the archive. While the Avery preserves the records of African American life, the artists in Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water activate these histories that often exist beyond written texts and boxed objects, through inherited gestures like basketweaving, ecological connections on land, spiritual traditions with water, and various creative practices. This exhibition asks us to consider what survives when knowledge is transmitted through making and remembering.

Together, these artists reveal that Black Southern traditions are not relics to be preserved behind glass, but dynamic systems of knowledge that continue to evolve. Through basketry, collage, sculpture, painting and immersive installation, these artists demonstrate that memory must be honored, practiced, embodied, cultivated and imagined. Grain becomes more than sustenance; it becomes an inheritance. Water becomes more than geography; it becomes an archive. The body becomes both witness and vessel, carrying histories that extend beyond individual experience into cultural preservation.

Speaker: John Huddlestun

Lecture Description: In this talk we delve into one of the most interesting and controversial books in the Hebrew Bible/Tanakh, namely, the Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon.

While traditionally attributed to King Solomon, the vast majority of biblical scholars today date Song of Songs centuries after his reputed reign. So, right out of the gate we are confronted with questions of how to read and make sense of this book. And these questions only increase as we grapple with the book’s subject matter and the long, colorful history of its interpretation in both Jewish and Christian traditions.

At first blush, the book appears to be a collection of love poems, at times erotic, presented as an extended dialogue between two unnamed lovers, with brief appearances by the “daughters of Jerusalem.” But this is not how the rabbis and church fathers read the book. Interpreters in both traditions have engaged in painstakingly detailed expositions of each verse to deny any type of literal reading in favor of an allegorical or typological one (e.g., the man and woman identified as God and Israel).

After surveying some examples of the allegorical and other modern interpretations, we will compare the Song of Songs with love poetry from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The striking similarities between these texts have led many modern scholars to conclude that the book is indeed love poetry. This raises the question of how the book wound up in the biblical canon. As one modern commentator put it, "The simple answer is: We do not know.” But given ignorance has never prevented scholarly speculation, especially with this particular book, we too will consider some factors that likely influenced the rabbinic (and later Christian) debates.

In an era of division, is it still possible to find common ground? Have our rival perceptions of reality made such a search futile? When we are divided not just by policy but by fundamental tribal identities, what does it actually take to foster a healthy debate that doesn't collapse into mutual contempt? The conversation will be moderated by Mike Lee of the Civility Initiative, and a reception will follow. The conversation is presented by the College of Charleston Friends of the Library and the Civility Initiative.

Description: Puerto Rican history has been a contested space ever since its early days. From Fray Íñigo Abad y la Sierra’s 1788 book to Paul G. Miller’s Historia de Puerto Rico in the early 20th century, the production of history has served different political purposes. This lecture will explore the ways that history teaching and writing gave way to racialized tropes of Puerto Rican docility and laziness. More recently, however, the state has moved to silence or erase the past through Puerto Rico’s “politics of forgetting.” The talk ends with the ways that these ideas are being challenged by artists and cultural producers, specifically focusing in the impact of Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FoTOS.

Sponsors: Círculo Hispanoamericano de Charleston, the Department of Hispanic Studies and the Program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

Free and open to the public! Lecture will be in English, followed by a reception.

Check back for the detailed schedule.

Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water explores ancestral narratives and practices laced into the contemporary Black experience of the South that seeks to sustain traditions of water and land through stories told over time. Rooted in resilience, creativity and connection, this collaborative exhibition between the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture delves into the unification of both historical and visual language and the soil and waterways of Black agrarian life.

The artists being presented are based in the South, and their work traverses these narratives, which are steeped in the deep histories of Black farming practices to modern movements reclaiming food sovereignty. From the cultivation of grains to the rituals of the table, stories often told reveal the ways in which food and land have been a site of survival, resistance and renewal. As a symbol of life, healing and transformation, water is a part of ancestral wisdom and African spirituality that reflects the cultural significance of the past, present, and future.

Through a range of mediums – painting, collage, sculpture and immersive installations – the artists featured in Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water honor the intimate relationships between body and land, seed and story, memory and place. The exhibition asks: How do we reconnect with the wisdom of our ancestors? What does it mean to nourish not only the body but the spirit? And how do the histories embedded in our foodways guide us toward liberation?

Complimentary brunch is served at 9 a.m. and the lecture begins at 10 a.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Speaker: Leonard Stein

Lecture Description: Israel has a thriving jazz scene today, but the story of how jazz arrived and took root there is far less known. Leonard Stein traces that history, exploring how the reception of American music in Israel was shaped by the country's shifting demographics before and after 1948 – including successive waves of immigration from Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East – as well as by the broader nationalist project of forging a distinctly Israeli cultural identity.

At the center of Stein's talk are two Jewish American musicians who immigrated to Israel shortly after statehood and dedicated their lives to teaching and spreading jazz throughout the country – through radio broadcasts, lectures, jam sessions, performances and writing. At a time when American records were scarce, their efforts were foundational in cultivating the first generation of Israeli jazz musicians and listeners.

Central to this work was the task of explaining where jazz comes from. In doing so, many Israelis encountered, for the first time, the African American experience, the musical roots of blues and spirituals and the cultural history of the American South. Stein's talk ultimately illuminates a surprising and resonant bridge between Southern culture and Israeli society – one built through music.

She will also discuss her recent transition to focus research on present-day Native American art, centering discussion on themes of rematriation and Indigenization, terms used to describe restoration of ancestral relationships and a return to Indigenous-centered thinking.

Complimentary brunch is served at 9 a.m. and the lecture begins at 10 a.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Speakers: Maurice Samuels and Judge Richard Gergel

Lecture Description: Maurice Samuels will discuss his acclaimed biography Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair, which draws on a vast family archive to offer a nuanced portrait of Dreyfus' life, his resistance to a devastating false accusation and his distinctive model of Jewish identity. Samuels argues that the Dreyfus Affair remains a powerful cautionary tale – and a guide – for confronting antisemitism and right-wing nationalism in contemporary liberal democracies.

Joining Samuels in conversation will be Judge Richard Gergel, who will bring a legal historian's perspective to the discussion. Together, they will explore the Dreyfus Affair alongside the Leo Frank case – the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia, the wrongful conviction of Leo Frank and his subsequent lynching – examining how law, bias and public pressure shaped the outcomes of both trials and what these cases continue to reveal about justice, prejudice and democracy.

Complimentary brunch is served at 9 a.m. and the lecture begins at 10 a.m. This event is free and open to the public

Speaker: Hélène Jawhara Piñer

Lecture Description: This lecture offers a scholarly analysis of Jewish culinary identity in medieval Iberia, situating food at the intersection of religion, medicine, politics and cultural exchange. Drawing on archival research and the earliest Iberian cookbooks, it examines how Jewish food practices developed within – and in dialogue with – Muslim and Christian culinary traditions. The lecture compares the thirteenth-century Kitāb al-ṭabīkh with 14-century cookbooks produced under Christian rule, analyzing these texts as both culinary and dietary manuals shaped by religious law, medical theory and social hierarchy. Particular attention is given to the oldest extant Spanish cookbook, which preserves the earliest explicitly Jewish recipes, revealing the Jewish contribution to Andalusian cuisine and shared culinary knowledge across confessional boundaries.

The talk further explores Jewish and Muslim food consumption in the Kitāb al-ṭabīkh, engages medieval medical discourse – especially the writings of Maimonides – and traces the evolution of Sephardic foodways through Christian-era cookbooks, literature and Inquisition records. It highlights holiday foods as enduring markers of identity and continuity under conditions of persecution and forced conversion. The lecture concludes by examining contemporary Spain’s engagement with Sephardic culinary heritage and current efforts toward recognition, revival and cultural memory.
