About Gullah Art:
Gullah art is unique in that it not only represents the culture, but the story of a people. The Gullah culture is rich in African tradition and its art reflects strength and resilience through images that, like an African Giot, or storyteller, depict how life is or was.

The question is often asked why are some of the Gullah faces without features. As slaves, the Gullah were stripped of their personalities, but not their spirit. The faceless images represent Gullah people for their hotsell perseverance and will to survive, regardless of their individuality.
