House Party: R.S.V.P. B.Y.O.B., curated by artist and scholar Michael J. Bramwell, is an exhibition of historical and contemporary artwork by internationally known artists at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. The exhibition, in the museum’s White Hall Plantation dining room, examines and reframes the material and cultural legacies of enslavement as an act of acknowledgement and commemoration.
