On Saturday, February 22nd we were honored to have William Earle Williams, join us to talk about his exhibit at the Florence Griswold Museum.
The Florence Griswold Museum presents its first solo exhibition by a contemporary Black artist, Their Kindred Earth: Photographs by William Earle Williams, February 22 through June 22, 2025. The exhibition of newly commissioned photographs makes visible little-known sites across Old Lyme (as well as the state and nation) significant to enslavement, emancipation, and African Americans’ contributions to Connecticut history and culture. Williams’s 120 poignant images acknowledge and honor the lives of the Black and Indigenous people who contributed in essential and often unrecognized ways to Connecticut’s society, culture, and economy.
