CEREMONY Exhibition Opening Community Reception

CEREMONY Exhibition provides historical context into the ritual observances — community celebrations, pageants, parades and banquets shaped by educational pioneers Blanche and Joseph Ely. By taking a closer look at the ceremonies that have shaped traditions in Pompano’s Northwest Community, the exhibition offers yet another abbreviated glimpse into the Ely’s extensive collection of photographs, letters, artifacts and ephemera while building on the work of curatorial consultant, Derek Davis of Davis Kuumba.
