The Museum is in a historic Stone House National Monument, a former residence of Reverend Robert Laws, one of the pioneer missionaries of the Livingstonia Mission. The article illustrates how objects, formerly relics of missionary heroism meant to inspire sacrifice and commitment, became “leftover” objects and were later re-made into museum pieces in the 1970s. Through a haphazard process of professionalizing the Museum to attract new publics in the 1990s and early 2000s, these objects became alienating and disconnected when put behind glass. The Museum echoed the Victorian ethos of romanticizing and prioritizing missionaries' “heroic” efforts over the stories of local people and culture. The material objects of the local Malawian community in the Museum were essentially put into a timeless past, tribal representations, and merely cast as a complementary background to the missionaries' activities. This article relies on an ethnographic methodology of museum histories, analysis of exhibitions and engagements with the Museum's publics. It reveals that the collection and displays of the local community were assembled as an adjunct to missionary paraphernalia. The Museum, despite its claims to be aligned with the post-colonial, kept its publics “out of history.”","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":"47 2","pages":"51-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/muan.12299","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":"47 2","pages":"99-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/muan.12300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141773750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Readers will benefit from this layer of Kiah scholarship and its contributions to the field of anthropology by looking at a talented artist fueled by her status as a Black woman denied civil, civic, and human rights. Therefore, Virginia Jackson Kiah recreated herself as an artist activist who led a cultural resistance to racism in the arts prior to desegregation and the civil rights movement. As a scholar outside the realm of anthropology, art criticism, and analysis, I approach this project from the stance of a storyteller applying cultural studies methodology and content analysis. I posit that more attention should be given to the total artist—not just the person that had a grasp of brush, paint, pencil, and canvas. Besides her gifts as a painter, little has been written about Virginia Jackson Kiah, the interdisciplinary artist activist who examined culture and history as a musician, composer, singer, pianist, and arts educator. This recovery project fills several voids using archived materials and interviews which recast a total picture of Virginia Jackson Kiah as an artist and activist.","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":"47 2","pages":"64-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141773751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
