No registration required. Kindred Spirit examines the work of William H. Johnson (1901 – 1970)\, Hocha Krake Johnson (1885 – 1944)\, and Christoph Voll (1897 – 1939). \nJohnson was a man between worlds: raised in the rural South but educated in New York; black\, but his unknown father was white; American-born\, but lived much of his adult life in Europe. This diverse heritage gave Johnson a unique perspective and insight\, but at times it was also a difficult shadow that followed him as he traveled the world searching for his true artistic voice. \nEventually\, after many years away from his hometown of Florence\, South Carolina\, Johnson returned to the United States. Although living in New York\, his art began to focus almost entirely on the lives and experiences of African Americans in the rural South.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

How? Why? Discoveries and new science can now tell the story. Hidden deep in sacred caves lies evidence of when the rains stopped coming – and for how long. Advanced bone analysis from hundreds of graves tells us what the Maya ate\, where they came from\, and what changed in their lives. Lidar strips away the jungle and CGI shows their world in a way never seen before\, revealing the incredible geo-engineering and complexity that allowed cities to grow to immense size – perhaps too big. The most amazing new find – the KomKom vase – is the only written account of its kind\, detailing events at the cusp of collapse. It speaks of a story of war\, family power struggles between divine god-kings\, failing power in the face of climate change\, and murder. Experts lead us deep into the sacred caves to the site of escalating offerings\, human sacrifice\, and in final desperation\, child sacrifice. In the thick jungle\, key sites reveal enigmatic piles of goods and bodies buried in palace rubble\, as chaos and desperation grew\, until – the end of their world. The Fall of the Maya Kings is a one-hour documentary that traces the story of the ancient Maya collapse\, from inside the chaos – as told by the ancient Maya themselves.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][vc_video link=”https://youtube.com/shorts/AlXPL-Z3LLI?si=R8EIF30GShA2aQ_t” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Curiosity Trek! Episode 4: “A Submarine Commander’s Lucky Charm” – 8 min. \nDirector and Producer Andrew Davis\, SCETV\, (USA) This episode of Curiosity Trek! dives into the history behind the legendary “Life Preserver” of Lieutenant George Dixon – a gold $20 coin that saved his life at the Battle of Shiloh in the American Civil War. He carried this coin with him everywhere he went – even during the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley’s fateful run in February 1864. This tale was originally thought to be legend\, but myth became fact when the coin was discovered among Dixon’s remains inside the Hunley. Hunley expert Mike Scafuri of the Warren-Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston joins host Andrew Davis to elaborate on this fascinating artifact![/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
