The article discusses the exhibition "Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina" which showcases the work of nineteenth-century enslaved Black potters. The exhibition highlights the craftsmanship of these potters who created functional stoneware pottery under brutal conditions of forced labor. The show features the large storage vessels made by David Drake, an enslaved potter, who signed his pieces with his name, "Dave," providing a rare textual link to an individual enslaved artisan. The exhibition also contextualizes the pottery through additional materials and includes works by contemporary artists inspired by the Old Edgefield potters. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing the creative capacity and visual vocabulary of enslaved Black artisans and the need for conversations about the complicated history of pottery ownership.
