For the past year, a team of artists and archivists collaborated to transform the Buncombe County Special Collections into a space that is welcoming, accessible, and encourages our community to engage with history. After months of work, BCSC, Engaging Collections, and Different Wrld are proud to present Honey Simone’s Carolina Record Shop. The Record Shop is an installation of images, stories, oral histories, and other materials from BCSC’s collections, including the Black Asheville History Collection and Andrea Clark’s image collection, among others. This lunch and learn style event will feature a panel discussion including Honey Simone (Different Wrld), Katherine Calhoun Cutshall (Buncombe County Special Collections), and Lydia See (Engaging Collections). Jefferson Ellison (JAWBREAKING) will moderate. Join us to learn more about the process of creating the Carolina Record Shop, transforming the Buncombe County Special Collections, and how everyone in our community can be an archivist. Lunch is provided, and capacity is limited to the first 20 registrants. |
