Entry Description

The People's Orchestra works cooperatively with the Gullah community to give rise to a cultural sanctuary - a symphonic celebration - that unifies the Gullah people through education, engagement, and communal bonding to instill a greater sense of pride, connectivity, and belonging to this vital cultural group.

The People's Orchestra sees the division of cultural keystones into varied architectural forms that build upon each other to ultimately establish a deeper, more enriching understanding of the Gullah community and its deep-rooted practices in the social, artistic, and economic realms.
