Originally debuted at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, Native(s) by MacArthur Fellow Walter Hood explores Black cultural landscapes in Charleston, South Carolina, and the low country. The exhibition confronts the erasure of the Gullah Geechee people's heritage amid environmental and social pressures, reimagining what it means to be "native" in constantly evolving landscapes. Through wooden artifacts, sectional drawings, and evocative imagery, Hood invites reflection on identity, belonging, and the intersections of decolonization, ecology, and design.
