Lizzie’s Legacy: A performance on the porch with UWM artist Portia Cobb

Portia Cobb, artist and associate professor of film at UWM, concludes her residency at Milwaukee’s Lynden Sculpture Garden with a multimedia performance that explores the history and mystery of her Gullah Geechee family and their life on South Carolina’s Yonges Island.

This video was filmed on location at Lynden Sculpture Garden and Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities.

Thank you to the staff at Lynden, ‘Cabinet’ artist Fo Wilson, ‘Legacy’ artist Portia Cobb and videographer Maeve Jackson for the use of this footage.
