Telfair Museums is hosting a free public gathering on African American basket traditions in Savannah from Nov. 5 through Nov. 7. Programs are scheduled at 207 W. York St.
The gathering is connected to “Roots in the Rushes: African American Basketry of the Lowcountry,” an exhibition on view at the Telfair Academy. The program includes panel discussions, workshops, tours and other activities exploring the craft’s history, techniques, innovations and cultural relevance. The listing welcomes basket makers, scholars, museum professionals, educators, environmentalists, art enthusiasts and other community members.
The event schedule lists programs from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. However, its description says Saturday’s program starts at 10 a.m. and does not clarify the difference. The event is open to the public at no charge.
