摘要
2024 年,位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市的哈维-甘特非裔美国人艺术与文化中心(Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture)将庆祝其成立 50 周年。1974 年,玛丽-哈珀(Mary Harper)和伯莎-马克斯韦尔-罗迪(Bertha Maxwell-Roddey)在北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校成立了非裔美国人文化与服务中心,本案例研究反映了甘特中心从一个基于社区的文化空间发展成为夏洛特上城区一个成熟的艺术与文化机构的过程。研究重点关注了这个以黑人为中心、由黑人领导的机构在过去半个世纪中面临的机遇和挑战,它从一个草根文化组织发展成为一个集美术、教育和文化于一体的混合机构,同时还要满足不断增长的资助者、领导层、艺术家、文化守护者和观众的需求。本案例研究综合了历史资料、对甘特中心前任和现任工作人员的访谈以及人种学观察,描述了这家历史悠久的机构如何在成长为国家和国际黑人艺术中心的同时,尊重其作为服务于夏洛特黑人社区的组织的深厚根基。
Legacy and evolution: The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture
In 2024, the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture in Charlotte, North Carolina, celebrates its 50th anniversary. Founded as the as the Afro-American Cultural and Service Center in 1974 by Mary Harper and Bertha Maxwell-Roddey at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, this case study reflects on the Gantt Center's evolution from a community-based cultural space to a full-fledged arts and cultural institution in uptown Charlotte. It focuses on the opportunities and challenges this Black-centered and Black-led institution has faced over the past half century as it has evolved from a grassroots cultural organization to a hybrid fine arts, education, and cultural institution, negotiating the needs of a growing array of funders, leadership, artists, culture keepers, and audiences. Integrating historical material, interviews with past and current Gantt Center staff, and ethnographic observation, this case study describes how this historic institution honors its deep roots as an organization serving to Charlotte's Black community as it grows into a national and international center of Black arts.
期刊介绍:
Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
