    Sobre esta obra

    Strips — Gordon Bennett Ao

    I was born December 29, 1960, in Gee’s Bend, Alabama. As a young child living in Gee’s Bend, I grew up on a farm and had to work in the fields. Because of my young age, I was only allowed to carry water to those who were big enough to chop cotton and the other things that we grew in our fields. Our field was located in an area called Carson, although my grandfather had two fields, one in Carson and the other one located in a place called Hotel (some people called it Long Bottom). Hotel was the area where the old cemetery was located. There, my family grew cotton, corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes, just to name a few of our crops.We started our day early because my mother had to make breakfast and lunch so we could carry our lunch with us to the fields. When I got a little older, about eight years old, I also helped with getting the meals prepared, and now I was old enough to chop and pick cotton. This was not an easy job, and I can remember we hardly ever complained. And even if we did, we were only wasting time and energy. In my early teens, cotton started to fade away, and only a few people who were a little more well-off than the rest continued with planting cotton. So we “hired out,” working for those who had a bigger farm. To pick a hundred pounds of cotton a day was really hard for me because I was so small, but I am sure it was no problem for my grandfather, Tank Pettway, because he was a big, tall man. It was not long before cotton completely faded away from Gee’s Bend and another crop of hard work was born—the birth of cucumbers.We started our day early because my mother had to make breakfast and lunch so we could carry our lunch with us to the fields.

It was not long before cotton completely faded away from Gee’s Bend and another crop of hard work was born—the birth of cucumbers.Roman Pettway, the community entrepreneur, introduced Gee’s Bend to a new mode of farming. Cucumbers were the “new cotton,” but thank God, the season for cucumber picking was very short, from late May to the first week in July. We knew when the month of July came it would not be long before we could finally have a summer break. Growing cucumbers lasted for nearly a decade, and many families planted a second crop because this was a quicker and faster way to earn income. My family and others planted their own gardens and grew almost all the vegetables needed to survive the winter months. I learned to can vegetables and to make plum and blackberry jelly and jams. My mother Qunnie Pettway’s first paying job was working at the Freedom Quilting Bee. Her paycheck was not a whole lot, and sometimes she would have to work several weeks before getting any pay. During her absence, my oldest brother and I had to do most of the household chores. We didn’t have a water pump of our own, so we carried water from my aunt Lucy T. Pettway’s house. We also carried water from a natural spring, a spring called Cross Spring. Some of the men in the community tailored the spring into a well by damming it up with barrels; this made it much easier to obtain the water. The water was used to cook and wash our clothes. We also heated our bathwater in the same wash pot we used to wash our clothes. By the time I turned about fifteen, we got running water and paved roads. Now that the roads were paved and we had running water, washing, cleaning, riding the school bus, and walking got a lot better. I can recall that I was about five or six years old when I was first introduced to sewing. At that age we were only allowed to thread the needles for the quilters in my grandmother’s and my mother’s quilting group. The leftover scraps are what we got to sew and piece together, practicing on how to make a real quilt. We never actually made a quilt, because the leftover pieces were so small in size, so I looked for something else more interesting to do than sticking my fingers with a needle. During grade school the bulk of my school clothes were homemade by my mother, Qunnie Pettway; she has always had a passion for sewing. Since quilting and making quilts were such a big part of my grandmother’s, my mother’s, and my aunt’s life, I believe the seed of quiltmaking was planted into my genes. Whenever we would go to either aunt Lucy T. Pettway’s or aunt Ruth Mosely’s houses to play during the summer months, t../..

    Souls Grown Deep

    En exposición en Atlanta, Estados Unidos de América

    Un testimonio de resiliencia: El alma del sur de Estados Unidos

    En el corazón de Atlanta, donde el pulso urbano se encuentra con la fuerza serena de las estribaciones de los Apalaches, se encuentra un santuario para voces que durante mucho tiempo han resonado desde los márgenes de la historia.

    Souls Grown Deep

    es mucho más que un mero repositorio de objetos; es un testimonio profundo y vivo del legado perdurable de la expresión artística afroamericana. El nombre mismo del museo, extraído de la evocadora imaginería del poema de Langston Hughes,

    "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" (El negro habla de los ríos),

    sirve como luz guía para una institución dedicada a la idea de que la creatividad, al igual que un río, posee una capacidad infinita y profunda para cargar con el peso de la experiencia humana. Aquí, el arte no permanece simplemente en silencio; habla de supervivencia, de profundidad espiritual y de una herencia cultural que ha florecido incluso en los paisajes más duros de la adversidad.

    La colección es un tapiz impresionante de medios y significados, anclado por las legendarias

    colchas de Gee’s Bend

    . Estas no son simples textiles, sino obras maestras improvisadas nacidas del paisaje de Alabama. Caracterizadas por abstracciones geométricas audaces y un uso vibrante y rítmico del color, estas colchas representan una contribución singular al canon global del arte moderno. Estar frente a ellas es presenciar un lenguaje visual de narración, donde cada puntada y retazo refleja la ingeniosidad y el espíritu comunitario de las mujeres que las crearon. Junto a estas maravillas textiles, el museo presenta un diálogo poderoso a través del

    arte de ensamblaje . Esculturas de titanes como

    Thornton Dial

    y

    Lonnie Holley

    dominan el espacio, utilizando materiales reutilizados y objetos encontrados para construir narrativas monumentales. Estas obras confrontan temas de pobreza, justicia y perseverancia, transformando lo desechado en lo divino y forzando un encuentro con las complejidades sociales del sur de Estados Unidos.

    La arquitectura de Souls Grown Deep es una extensión intencionada de su misión curatorial. Diseñado para armonizar con su entorno, el edificio utiliza la luz natural y materiales orgánicos para crear una sensación de transparencia y conexión entre el espectador y el arte. Esta elección de diseño deliberada refleja la esencia misma de los artistas que celebra: individuos que extraen su inspiración de la tierra, la comunidad y las tradiciones ancestrales que los rodean. La atmósfera del museo es de reverencia y descubrimiento, donde los límites entre la historia del arte formal y la tradición popular se disuelven, permitiendo una comprensión más holística de la creatividad estadounidense.

    Lo que verdaderamente distingue a esta institución es su compromiso inquebrantable con el

    artista autodidacta . En una era en la que las instituciones artísticas suelen priorizar la trayectoria académica, Souls Grown Deep defiende a aquellos que han forjado sus propios caminos fuera de los confines de la formación formal. Al elevar las tallas de madera, las construcciones de técnica mixta y las pinturas sobre superficies poco convencionales, el museo asegura que las visiones singulares de estos maestros sean reconocidas como componentes vitales de nuestra identidad cultural compartida. Para el coleccionista que busca profundidad, el diseñador que busca alma o el amante del arte que anhela autenticidad, Souls Grown Deep ofrece un encuentro con el arte que no es meramente estéticamente agradable, sino profundamente transformador: un recordatorio de que, incluso en las circunstancias más desafiantes, el espíritu humano continúa creciendo profundo, como los ríos.
