Gullah Museum,SC

Congratulations to Priscilla Brockington for being named Community Favorite at the Conway Gullah CREATE Artwork Showcase with her powerful piece Sankofa Flight!

A Gullah Geechee artist from Georgetown, South Carolina, Brockington’s work serves as a vibrant bridge between Lowcountry culture and West African traditions. Her art blends bold colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic imagery to explore themes of identity, resilience, and connection, all deeply rooted in her heritage.

“Sankofa Flight” was created through the Gullah Geechee CREATE program, where artists transform marine debris into meaningful works of art. Brockington shared that her favorite part of the experience was honoring her ancestors through her work and creating something that reflects her culture.

You can experience more inspiring artwork like this at the next Gullah Geechee CREATE Artwork Showcase on March 28 from 12:00–3:00 PM at the Penn Center National Historic Landmark on St. Helena Island, South Carolina. Join us to meet the artists, hear the stories behind the work, and celebrate creativity rooted in culture and coastal stewardship.
