Getting the Shot
A coronavirus vaccine is in the works, but will people take it? BY LINDSAY STREET
CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 07.22.2020
Health and policy experts see developing a coronavirus vaccine as the best medical solution to kill off the disease that’s killed more than 1,000 in South Carolina and hundreds of thousands across the world. But while it may be months or even years away, questions remain on distribution and whether people will accept it.

“(A vaccine) really is the thing we need before we’re ever going to get back to normal again,” said Beaufort Republican Sen. Tom Davis, a member of both the Senate Medical Affairs and the Re-Open South Carolina Select committees. “It’s one thing to have a vaccine and it’s another to distribute it to have the economic and health benefits that we want and we ought to be preparing for it now.” Prakash Nagarkatti, an immunologist and University of South Carolina vice president of research, called the question of getting a high vaccination rate in the state “the million dollar question.” “If we can’t sell the wear-a-mask message, NAGARKATTI then we can’t sell the message of take-the-vaccine,” Nagarkatti said. “If you really want to open the economy and not have to think twice about the virus moving forward, then we need to wear masks and social distance and wash hands, but also once the vaccine becomes available and it’s safe,
then people need to get vaccinated.” As of Friday, there are 197 vaccines currently in some phase of development. Under the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed, up to $10 billion in federal funding has been made available to eight vaccine developers. Making headlines last week: Moderna’s vaccine will start its final testing phase with a 30,000-person study July 27 to prove the efficacy of its shots. Meanwhile, Nephron Pharmaceuticals in West Columbia announced last week it would prepare for a potential coronavirus vaccine distribution in its $215 million expansion plan that would create an additional 380 jobs. Researchers have estimated at least 70 percent of the population needs to develop immunity to the virus for its eradication. That’s 3.5 million people in South Carolina, where only 1.5 million were inoculated during the 2019-2020 flu season. Nagarkatti said he fears up to 50 percent of the population may refuse vaccination — a roadblock not seen in the 20th century eradication of smallpox. Medical University of South Carolina microbiology professor
Michael Schmidt said polio and smallpox — two victories of vaccination efforts — did not have what the coronavirus has: social media and brewing distrust. “It seems like everything in our society now automatically becomes politicized, now even things you think couldn’t be are and that’s the nature of our times,” Davis said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens with vaccinations as well.” SCHMIDT But Charleston Democratic Rep. Wendell Gilliard said he hasn’t seen any hesitation among his constituents. “As long as the FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] approves it and it’s proven to be effective and safe, they’d stand in line for it for their children and themselves rather than be put on the ventilator,” he said. “When you look at the people who have contracted this every day, everybody will be kicking the doors down to be vaccinated.” Public health policy experts said now is the time for health officials in the state to begin crafting public messages to combat misinformation. “We really need to think strategically in how to message this properly to the general public,” Schmidt said. Logistics should also be worked out at the same time as vaccine development, he said.
“It’s incumbent upon government to put into place the infrastructure whereby if someone wants to get vaccinated they can.” —Sen. Tom Davis
“We’ve seen the challenges with simply lining up for voting,” Schmidt said. “One of the discussions that our governor and state legislature needs to be planning for: If we get a vaccine how are we going to distribute it?” Some have drawn parallels between the inability to ramp up testing and the problems to come with vaccine distribution. “It’s incumbent upon government to put into place the infrastructure whereby if someone wants to get vaccinated they can,” Davis said. “(Testing) exposed a structural problem here in South Carolina. We had difficulty in ramping up tests because we didn’t have the personnel and the various pieces.” Part of that streamlining could come from expanding the pool of those qualified to administer vaccines. Davis has worked in recent years in expanding the list of health services under nurse practitioners and other medical professionals. “There’s no reason why more couldn’t be authorized to administer the vaccine. That just goes into the logistics of it all. How do you go about making the massive number of people available to the vaccine,” he said.

CHARLESTON MUSEUM BOARD VOTES TO REJECT ADDING CALHOUN STATUE TO ITS COLLECTION
6
The Charleston Museum Board of Trustees voted unanimously on July 15 to decline relocating the bronze statue of John C. Calhoun to its Meeting Street campus, citing logistical and historical considerations. The statue’s 12-foot height and 6,000pound weight were two factors that led to the board’s executive committee recommending against accepting the statue. The museum’s collections policy dictates that, “the size and weight of any individual object should be such that it can be accommodated by Museum personnel and facilities,” according to the approved resolution. If Calhoun was placed in the museum’s courtyard next to its main entrance, then “the statue would be going from one public space to another.” Charleston City Council voted in June to have the statue removed from Marion Square. As a pro-slavery forefather for the Confederacy, reexamining Calhoun’s likeness over the city center has long been a hot-button topic for activists and Charleston leaders alike. Jack O’Toole, a spokesman for Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg, said the city will continue to find a suitable place for Calhoun’s statue. The statue’s mass aside, the resolution also dashed Calhoun’s significance. “While we recognize that John C. Calhoun was a man of significant national historical importance, he was not a Charleston figure and as such his biographical history does not fit in with the Museum’s general purpose and mission of interpreting the cultural and natural history of Charleston and the Lowcountry,” the proposal read. “The Museum fully supports the relocation of the Calhoun statue to an educational institution that can most appropriately interpret it.” The statue to Calhoun was cut from its pedestal in Marion Square on June 24, where it stood for more than a century. A native of Abbeville, South Carolina, Calhoun held federal offices, including vice president, and is known for laying the ideological groundwork for nullification, which led to secession of Southern states over slavery. Calhoun described enslavement of Africans as “a positive good.” —Sam Spence

‘CHARLESTON IS IN TROUBLE’ ON FLOODING, CONSERVATIONIST SAYS
An annual federal flooding report found Charleston’s high-tide flooding is increasing at an alarming rate. The report comes as the city prepares for its decennial comprehensive plan, which is being billed as its first development and priority blueprint with climate change as the central focus. “The report is very clear: Charleston is in trouble,” Coastal Conservation League’s Betsy La Force told Statehouse Report, the City Paper’s sister publication. “If we look at the data and continue to ignore it the issue will only get worse. It’s scientific. It’s not political. It proves to the public and political leaders that climate change impacts are happening now … We have to be realistic and plan accordingly.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report included hightide flooding (HTF) data from Charleston and Myrtle Beach. Charleston saw 13 HTF events in 2019 but is projected to see only four to seven flooding events this year. Myrtle Beach’s Springmaid Pier had 11 flooding events in 2019 but is projected to see only two to six this year. Charleston could experience up to 90 high-tide flooding events by 2050, the report said. Myrtle Beach could see up to 75. The increase in high-tide flooding along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts since 2000 has been “extraordinary,” according to the report, which found the frequency of flooding in some cities growing five-fold during that time. Charleston is more susceptible to anthropogenic climate change than Myrtle Beach because of its unique positioning along the coast, La Force said. “In order to be resilient in the face of sea level rise and an uncertain future we have to make bold choices in development,” La Force said. “The report is another reason to implement the studies and plans we’ve been doing for decades. At this point it’s undeniable.” Much of that can be addressed in Charleston’s comprehensive plan update. “For the first time ever, we are focusing on our comprehensive planning efforts on climate change, sea-level rise and flooding,” said city Planning Director Jacob Lindsey. “It’s clear that if our city is going to prosper and thrive in the future, we are going to have to address this issue now.” —Lindsay Street
CALL FOR IN-PERSON CLASSES DRAWS TEACHER PUSHBACK AMID PANDEMIC
Gov. Henry McMaster’s decision to require schools to reopen with in-person classes this fall has drawn considerable scrutiny from advocates and the South Carolina teachers who will carry out his order to reenter classrooms in the midst of a deadly pandemic. At a July 15 press conference, McMaster ordered all public schools to provide reopening plans for the fall. Students and parents will have the option of in-class education or online classes, according to McMaster. SC for Ed and the Palmetto State Teachers Association (PSTA) issued statements opposing McMaster’s order. SC for Ed called on educators to urge State Superintendent Molly Spearman to prioritize student and staff safety and to follow guidance from state health officials, calling McMaster’s statements “careless and dangerous.” In an open letter, the PSTA said its members “categorically” oppose McMaster’s push to restart classes in districts across the state. “We believe this action would needlessly jeopardize the health and safety of our state’s 800,000 students and more than 50,000 teachers,” the letter said. The organization advocated for schools operating in a “distance learning model,” as recommended by the state’s AccelerateEd task force, convened under McMaster’s AccelerateSC group at the start of the COVID-19 crisis. As teachers and advocacy groups continue to speak out, school districts are deciding how to cautiously open their doors to students in the coming months at the governor’s request. McMaster also asked Spearman to reject school district plans that do not allow students to attend classes in-person. Sydney Van Bulck, a teacher at W.B. Goodwin Elementary School in Charleston County, commented that she’s just as concerned about students losing a quality education as she is about their health and safety. “I fully believe that I would be a better teacher virtually than the teacher trying to adhere to all of those guidelines,” she said. “There’s way too much panic in the building to be an effective educator.” Last week, SC for Ed published results of a survey which asked 7,883 educators about possible health factors that may put them at higher risk for COVID19 infection. Among respondents, 43.47 percent were at a higher risk, 65.28 percent had a prior health condition and 29.29 percent were over the age of 50. Charleston County’s “Safe Restart” plan went in front of the school board Monday. The county’s current analysis estimates half of CCSD schools can bring student bodies back for in-person classes while implementing social distancing. The remaining schools will be able to bring back 50-90 percent of students, the report claimed. “I sure would like to know where that number is coming from and which schools they are talking about,” Van Bulck said. “We have been left out of the loop on basically all of the details.” AcceleratED provided a list of recommendations to help guide schools through various issues. SC for Ed believes school districts are not closely following those health officials’ recommendations. Van Bulck said, with the current plans, she feels like teachers are being “thrown to the wolves.” “My whole life revolves around my job. And I don’t mean CCSD particularly, but the state in general, [is] saying that I am expendable,” she said. “If I die because they send me back, well I’m just a small percentage. That’s a slap in the face for someone who’s dedicated her life to this career and this state and this school and these families.” —Heath Ellison

No one described in this section has been found guilty, just unlucky. A Johns Island man alerted police to a handgun and $3,600 in cash missing from his car’s glove box. Let’s go ahead and chalk this one up as several stolen handguns because you can buy a few more with $3,600. A man was admitted to a West Ashley hospital. According to the police report, it was necessary to search his belongings; among them was 20 grams of marijuana. They must have needed more medical supplies for their stash. Last week, a man broke the front window to a Charleston restaurant and made his way into the freezer, where he grabbed a “handful” of ice cream. We hope it wasn’t a literal barehanded scoop of ice cream, but we also kind of hope it was.
On King Street, a man was cited and arrested for “Publix Intoxication.” After all, it is “where shopping is a pleasure.” Police were alerted to vandalism downtown after a man was suspected of scratching a vehicle with a key. The suspect kind of incriminated himself when he fled the scene on a bike yelling “Fuck you” to the victim. One man believed he was the victim of a personal attack and a hate crime when his golf cart was vandalized in his front driveway overnight. He had no security camera footage or clues as to who could have done this, but maybe he’s on to something. After all, white people have it so hard nowadays.
One woman had two pairs of Air Jordan shoes stolen from the trunk of her car, along with $11 in loose change from the inside driver-side door. This thief is going to be hard to catch with such a high vertical, not to mention cab fare. A West Ashley man had a cruel taste of irony when he left a brand-new spare key in the center console of his truck. That night, the vehicle was stolen from outside his apartment building, but more importantly, so was that shiny new key. A mother entered her son’s room to wake him up in the morning and was shocked to find a make-up case, heart-shaped sunglasses and a wallet with a girl’s S.C. driver’s license inside. In this situation would you: A) Lie and say you had a girl over, B) Admit that you stole the stuff from a car or C) Convince your mom to call the police because someone clearly broke into your room and left their things behind?

Local leaders muster a pandemic patchwork with no one else in charge
F
CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 07.22.2020
irst came bold, if scary, steps from local city councils to keep people home. Then they did the smart thing and mandated masks. Now, individual school districts are trying to think creatively to reopen schools safely. Who is in charge here? You’d think there would be real leadership at the state level to protect people across the Palmetto State. But so far, Gov. Henry McMaster has been feckless at best, reckless at worst. Thank goodness some local leaders have been willing to step up and make the tough decisions during the coronavirus pandemic. McMaster paints himself as a man with his hands tied. Does the former state attorney general think he’s in a sophomoric game of chicken with the United States Constitution? Dealing with the pandemic isn’t about freedom of speech or powers enshrined in the Constitution. But McMaster is a creature of Columbia. It’s clear his instincts are more attuned to politics than the plain reality of the disaster that has unfolded in South Carolina on his watch. As McMaster has twiddled his thumbs, mayors and city councils have attempted to keep their people safe. The governor’s continuing impotent response has forced community leaders to piece together a patchwork pandemic response. Unfortunately, this default position has proven to be a bad strategy as the virus is back and it’s nearly out of control, health officials say. More than 1,100 people have died. ICU beds are filling up. Nursing

graduates are stepping in because there aren’t enough caregivers to handle demand. It’s impossible to know exactly how many people would not have gotten sick if there were real leadership in Columbia. But it’s no coincidence that in states that took the virus seriously, cases have gone down. Carol Jackson, who represents parts of James Island on Charleston City Council, has said local business owners were begging for someone to step in and do the right thing. “I’m not saying that if we had a top-down directive … that everyone would have gone along with it, but I do think it would have quieted a lot of the pushback early on when things were critical,” she said. “We have done the best we could without that kind of overall directive … It really has been a very difficult road to walk.” Worse, the numbers show how this virus has disproportionately impacted non-urban and non-white communities, but you would not know it if you looked at how state leaders have responded. Now, as McMaster’s political desire to reopen South Carolina classrooms is roundly criticized by teachers, who is left to figure out how to keep our kids safe? Our superintendents and school boards. It should not have to be like this. Governments are set up to govern. Leaders are elected to lead. But in a state emasculated by Republican small-government politics, state leadership seems limited to thumbing your nose at the very people who feel the pain of incompetent inaction.

Lately, I have been asked, “What would you have done differently?” regarding the law enforcement response to the protests after George Floyd’s death. My answer is pretty simple: I would’ve walked with the protesters. My biggest challenge, once elected as the next sheriff of Charleston County, will be changing the organizational culture that has caused us to get to this place. Our men and women in uniform, most of whom are kind and decent people, are hurting too. They want to have a voice, but they do not. What is most troubling is that the leaders at the top are just now realizing there is a problem. In 2014, I contemplated hanging up my uniform. I knew that I could not speak out on what I was seeing, and silent protests weren’t effective. I loved serving others, but I no longer enjoyed wearing a badge. My re-awakening came that summer on Seabrook Island. I was patrolling the beach off duty when I saw a man floating out past a sandbar. I saw others trying to swim toward him, but all of them seemed to be drifting out to sea. I radioed my dispatcher and asked for help. I removed my sidearm and gear and ran into the water, commandeering a nearby boogie board. With the help of a paddleboarder, we made it quickly to the three men, one laying limp and unconscious with this head barely above the water. I ordered the men to help me get the unconscious swimmer onto the paddle board, where I began to perform CPR amid the rocking waves. I remember thinking, “We cannot tip over, or I’ll lose him.” I put my head on his chest and embraced this still, blue figure on the board as we glided into shallow water. When we arrived, medics performed lifesaving procedures. I wrapped my arms around his wife, and we dropped to our knees and prayed. He survived. That day renewed my sense of purpose and gave me strength to keep moving forward. On May 25, another black man died at the hands of abusive police. Watching the video of Floyd, as he gasped for air and called out to his dead mother, I couldn’t take it. I ran outside my house and vomited. It physically rocked me to my core. I sensed a shift in my community in the days after the murder. My black brothers and sisters were in tremendous pain. I saw it in their eyes at my weekly volunteering shift at a food distribution center. As we worked, there was little laughter as there had been in previous weeks. Their pain was palpable. That day I called a friend who happens to be black and a pastor in the community. We talked for an hour, I needed to know what else I could do. He said, “Don’t remain silent.” This time is different, and it’s up to people who look like me to make changes in our privileged lives. It is our job to do the self-reflection to repair the damage that we have caused. Every law enforcement officer should hang up their badge if they condone aggressive and punitive policing. Our community deserves better, and our citizens demand better. This is not the time to lead with a gun, a baton or tear gas. Now is the time to lead with the heart and soul. When I am elected sheriff, I will open up the sheriff’s office to independent audits, to examine its history of policing practices and spending; restructure the department to remove waste at the top and recruit a more diverse field of deputies; involve the community more; sever an agreement to house federal immigration detainees; and reform our juvenile justice system. There is so much work to do. Leadership is born from connection and communication, which is something that is lacking from the top ranks of the sheriff’s office. I am prepared to make the necessary changes so we can heal and grow. I’m ready to put that badge back on and get to work.

t’s another hot, sticky July in Charleston. Not that you needed an excuse for a cold beverage, but National Tequila Day on July 24 will give you just that. Several local establishments serve a variety of tequilabased cocktails, but there are also plenty of options for those looking to whip up something at home. Nothing pairs with tequila like a few tacos, whether you’re making them yourself or heading out to try some based on authentic family recipes. Sure, pandemic celebrations are a little … different. But that shouldn’t stop you from finishing out the month with a healthy serving of tacos and tequila. —Parker Milner

The five types of tequila — blanco, joven, reposado, anejo and extra anejo — all have different flavor profiles to shake up your cocktail game and create drinks that will outshine the classic margarita. To help freshen up this booze-themed holiday, we talked to some local tequila experts to get the scoop on some of the best non-margarita tequila cocktails.

CELEBRATE NATIONAL TEQUILA DAY FRIDAY, 7/24 charlestoncitypaper.com
l Pincho Taco owner Sandra Aguirre learned how to make tamales and other Mexican standbys during her youth in Mexico City. She’s combining those lessons with a love of Mexico City street tacos at her Meeting Street restaurant, serving up hearty creations made with hand-made tortillas and other fresh ingredients. The kitchen was where Aguirre recalls spending quality time with her family as a child in Mexico City. “My grandmother has been cooking tamales for the last 45 years,” she said. “Cooking has always been in our family. I would see my mother cook desserts and she would sell them outside of her house which is very common in the city.” When she moved to Charleston 18 years ago, Aguirre found a lot of restaurants cooking Tex-Mex cuisine, but few were doing the southern Mexican food she grew up making. With years of at-home experience under her belt, Aguirre started El Pincho Taco as a catering company in 2017, popping up at breweries, markets and festivals around Charleston. One year later in October 2018, she opened

¡VAMONOS! TEQUILA + TACOS A WEEKLONG CELEBRATION
Tacos continued from page 11 El Pincho Taco at 616 Meeting St., now sandwiched between Mozzo Deli and Local 616. Her grandmother’s tamales only appear on the menu for special occasions — they take two days to prepare — but Aguirre’s five-person team, which includes her mother, makes up to 450 corn tortillas each day. Aguirre gave us the inside scoop on some of her favorite El Pincho tacos, tortas and tequilas.
Tacos and Tortas Cochinita Pibil Taco ($3): This taco combines marinated pulled pork with habanero slaw for a flavorful bite with a little kick. “We added this about a year ago and it’s been one that’s really stayed on the menu,” Aguirre said. Campechano Taco ($4): Why have one protein in your taco when you can have two? In this taco, Aguirre combines steak with chorizo she makes in the restaurant each week. Cubana Torta ($16): “The tortas we make are also huge,” Aguirre said. “We basically make them with any of the protein choices and we make a fully loaded Cuban. It’s almost a pound.” Joining the meat on the Mexican-style sandwich is a fried egg, guacamole and house-pickled jalapenos.
Bebidas Of course, every taco needs a beverage

EL PINCHO TACO PULLS FROM A VARIETY OF TEQUILAS FOR THEIR SIGNATURE COCKTAILS
companion, and El Pincho has you covered with over 75 kinds of tequila. A favorite is La Gritona reposado tequila made by Melly Cardenas, who leads the only female-owned distillery in Mexico City, according to Aguirre. Using this and other tequilas, Aguirre came up with four cocktails with names based on historic Mexico City sites. The Palacio, for instance, is named after the Palacio de los Deportes, a landmark arena. Another is named for a church her family frequented when she was a child. El Pincho Taco is a restaurant built on family recipes and tradition — Aguirre and her mother still work side-by-side in the kitchen like they did years ago in Mexico City. Perhaps the only thing that rivals the heft of their committment to their home cuisine is the size of their taco and torta entree.

Tequila continued from page 11 slightly acidic notes from the fermentation make it a great complement to tequila. Local kombucha producer Dalai Sofia has flavors ranging from fruity to earthy. Mix the watermelon, strawberry, jalapeno and basil-infused Jala Berry kombucha with a shot or two of tequila for a sweet, spicy and floral cocktail.
Going Out Those looking to venture outside their home for their tequila fix can head to Mesu for a reimagined take on an old fashioned. Substituting whiskey for anejo tequila, the drink has notes of warm spices and smoke that will remind you of the dark liquor normally found in this classic drink. Mesu complements these notes with the addition of Angostura bitters, orange bitters and simple syrup to balance out the smoky flavors.
Over at Jackrabbit Filly, beverage director Jared Chafin fuses Asian ingredients with tequila to create the “Vote For Pedro” cocktail. Instead of using lime juice as a citrus element, Chafin adds yuzu, which has the flavor of lemon mixed with grapefruit. “We wanted to make not only an approachable, but very food-friendly drink that works year-round,” CHAFIN he said. “Tequila was the perfect vessel for shiso, yuzu and togarashi, which pair perfectly with our dishes.” Mex 1 Coastal Cantina has a wide variety of cocktails and six different tequila infusions that are sweet, spicy or a little of both. “At Mex 1, we want people to be able to enjoy their tequila and not take it chilled with lime and salt,” Hurley said. “Our infusions can be a great gateway to being able to enjoy tequila.”

artifacts A “HISTORICALLY ACCURATE, ANTI-RACIST BOOK CLUB” LAUNCHES IN CHARLESTON
A Cultural Exchange
Local activist, podcast host and founder of the Charleston Activist Network Mika Gadsden announced the launch of a new “anti-racist and historically accurate” book club last week. The book club holds its first online discussion on Aug. 18. The first book on the docket is Denmark Vesey’s Garden by Ethan J. Kytle & Blain Roberts. The New York Times described the book as a “fascinating and important new historical study that examines ... the place where the ways slavery is remembered mattered most.” The book traces the roots of present-day racial inequities and injustices to Charleston and considers the legacy of a black revolutionary, Denmark Vesey, who plotted a slave insurrection in 1822. Gadsden wants the book club to move beyond just a thoughtful discussion; each book and accompanying discussion will also include a specific call to action. Additional info about those calls to action will be provided at a later date. You can sign up for the book club online and stay up-to-date with Charleston Activist Network’s social media for additional info. As a reminder, the club asks you to buy your copy of this book from a local bookstore or check it out from your local library. —Connelly Hardaway
Heather Jones’ new exhibit at The George Gallery recreates the vivid colors and patterns of African garb
CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 07.22.2020
BY VINCENT HARRIS
16
In Exchange, a new solo exhibit by artist and quiltmaker Heather Jones at The George Gallery, we see a blend of several different worlds. It’s a collection of sewn panels made by an American former painter, with dazzling patterns and vibrant colors inspired by her month long residency at Black Rock Senegal in Dakar, Senegal. Black Rock Senegal is a multi-disciplinary residency program developed by artist Kehinde Wiley, best known for his official portrait of former President Barack Obama. The program brings together visual artists, writers and filmmakers at Wiley’s studio on the coast of Africa. During her time there, Jones was inspired by the colors and patterns she saw in the people’s everyday attire. “It’s a really dusty city,” Jones said. “There’s all this red, sandy dirt that’s in the air. And by the end of the day, if you’ve been out and about, you’re covered in this layer of red dirt. But there were people dressed head to toe in these beautiful African textiles, these beautiful vibrant prints, and they weren’t going anywhere special; it was just a daily trip to a market and they were dressed in these beautiful garments, knowing full well that they would end up covered in dust at the end of the day.” With Exchange, those vivid colors and patterns come together with Jones’ collage-style approach to create unpredictable designs using fabrics sourced both locally and from Senegal. “I think instinct and improvisation go hand in hand,” Jones said, “because you’re relying on your decision-making in that moment when two colors come together, or two shapes come together.” That instinctive approach carries over from Jones’ roots as a painter creating her work in the moment. “I had done a few things with a sewing machine, but I really started working with the textiles after my kids were born,” Jones said of her shift from painting to quilting. “I had my first child in 2006 and then my second

HEATHER JONES STUDIED WITH FAMED CONTEMPORARY ARTIST KEHINDE WILEY AT BLACK ROCK SENEGAL IN DAKAR, SENEGAL
VIRTUALLY SUPPORT CHARLESTON’S JEWISH FILM FEST WITH ONLINE SCREENINGS AND Q &AS in 2008, and I wanted to make things for them. But in a practical sense, I had a studio at home that I could access during what little bit of free time I had. Textiles made sense to me because they were not as messy. I was working in our dining room all day, and if I had 15 minutes or a half hour when they were napping, I could jump in and do some work.” Jones was an admirer of Wiley’s work, but she felt conflicted about applying for the residency at Black Rock Senegal when Wiley announced it last year. “There was a little bit of a hesitancy,” she said, “just because the smallest amount of time that I could stay there was one month, and my kids are 12 and 13, so the idea of me being gone for a month at a place that was that far away, I was thinking, ‘Can I really do this?’” Ultimately, Jones applied at the last minute, and was thrilled to find out she was chosen for the residency, spending October 2019 in Dakar. “It was really amazing,” she said. “There was this sense of joy throughout that environment. As trite as that sounds, I’ve never been in a place that was at once so different from my environment but yet there are lots of similarities as well. It was great because I was able to have the freedom to work in my studio for many hours a day, as many days
as I wanted. I really didn’t have any responsibilities other than working in my studio. It was very special.” In another season, the Exchange exhibit, which opens July 23, would stand on its own as the display of art that it was meant to be. But with Black Lives Matter protests all over the country, Jones is cognizant of the context. “It wasn’t that long ago, but it was a different time then,” she says of her residency period. “But certainly with everything that has happened since that, it has definitely made me even more acutely aware of how important it is for us as to realize that the things that black people have brought to our country should be respected and admired by everyone.” And Jones isn’t just talking about the patterns and colors that inspired her work; she’s talking about the overall cultural influence of African Americans. “So much of what we take for granted here in America from music to art to all aspects of our lives are due in part to the fact that the United States is a country of immigrants,” she said, “Some brought here without their consent. And I think that we definitely need to acknowledge that, especially in these troubling times that we’re in today.”
Throughout July and August, College of Charleston’s Jewish Studies Program is hosting a virtual Jewish Filmfest. With support from the Jewish Community Center Endowment, they will be showing three different Jewish films over six weeks, each movie showing for two weeks. Each film costs $10 to watch (with special code cjff20) and will be available for 48 hours after buying the tickets for viewing. There are free zoom Q&A sessions with the filmmakers that accompany the streaming of the movies. The films included this year: Based on a bestselling book by Robert Seethaler, The Tobacconist follows the journey of a teenage boy who meets Sigmund Freud during his apprenticeship at a tobacco shop in Vienna. (Available through July 24.) My Polish Honeymoon follows a newlywed Jewish couple as they travel to Poland for the first time. (Available July 31-Aug. 14.) A biographical love story, The Keeper follows a couple’s relationship as they overcome obstacles due to public disapproval and backlash. (Available Aug. 7-21.)

pulse AWENDAW GREEN WILL HOST A TINY DECK MUSIC SERIES THIS SUMMER
Back in Time
Awendaw Green is returning with a new “musical experiment” called the Tiny Deck music series. Every Wednesday for the rest of the summer, Awendaw Green will host a livestreamed concert with several local and touring artists, much like their popular Barn Jam series, which was shutdown due to COVID-19. “I decided to bring our original music experiment back to our compound up in Awendaw in an effort to stay engaged and provide a safe, responsible area to create the music we all love,” said Awendaw Green owner Eddie White. The first concert will be hosted on Facebook July 22, with Ben Somewhere and Mike Kaufman performing. The series will run for four weeks, ending Aug. 12, and all shows will run from 6-10 p.m. The full schedule is below.
Ray DeeZy mixes indie rock and hip-hop for a musical therapy session on The Getaway
CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 07.22.2020
BY HEATH ELLISON
22
Rapper Ray DeeZy’s tunes have always felt cathartic and soulful, something to bounce to one second and find solace in the next. And as an artist who has been vocal about depression in the past, Deezy’s somber songs have carried the weight of mental health, sometimes when they’re not even discussing it. But even people that confront life’s harder topics need a break, and that’s what DeeZy sought when crafting his latest album, The Getaway, out July 27. The album will be the first in a trilogy of releases over the next few months, DeeZy added. This upcoming album will focus much of its energy on the past. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug, after all. “That’s the theme throughout the project,” DeeZy said. “Just going back in time.” Newer fans to DeeZy’s style may think it’s a break from the norm, thanks to projects like Pardon My Pimpin’ and When it all Boils Down, but he notes that nostalgia has been a consistent theme since his earliest days. Before donning his current rap moniker, he went by Deezy McFly and put out a project called Back from the Future. The Getaway was delayed several times due to COVID-19, waiting on mixes and his own perfectionism, he said. “I just wanted to make sure it was perfect timing and make sure I was talking about the right shit,” he said. “It was just me, ‘I want this song to be right, I want this song to be right.” In past projects, the rapper utilized soul, R&B and blues samples, almost reappraising the old-school with heavier drum loops. But, DeeZy recruited Tyler Bertges of ethereal indie project Hermit’s Victory to handle the production. “It’s a real hip-hop, indie rock vibe,” DeeZy said. “I know everybody likes to say they don’t have a genre, but this shit sounds like Woodstock ’99. We had so much fun with this and that’s another reason why it took so long.” Another noteworthy break from DeeZy’s past tunes is that the rapper doesn’t rely as heavily on samples on The Getaway, opting for primarily live musicians. “This is real worldly,” he said. “I recorded this with a bunch of musicians ... this is all us just chilling

together. Like, ‘Put that right there, put that on that record.’ We’re just putting things together like a big beautiful puzzle.” “Paradise Gone,” the album’s intro track, is a bold reincarnation of DeeZy’s sound. The rapper mixed a Styx vocal sample, added live drums from Wolfgang Zimmerman, a fiery guitar groove and some ambient synths you’d expect from an indie band for a surprising and strong opening. What hits harder than the beat is DeeZy’s words. Listeners will be able to tell that recording with his friends has given the rapper a new energy to deliver some hardhitting lines. “Ancestors will carry you, stay on point/ don’t let this crooked system burry you/ they say black people got an attitude/ what you expect when what’s deserved was never handed to you/ Now people died and y’all still ain’t killed Dylann Roof,” he raps on first verse. Throughout the
album, DeeZy discusses topics that apply to the old days and the current world, like racism and police brutality. In fact, he references incidents specific to Charleston, like the night of looting on May 30 after a peaceful protest and the situation a day later in Eastside where armed police officers used crowd-control methods on citizens not protesting. “I talk about my backyard,” he said. “I can’t talk about what’s going on in Minneapolis if I don’t talk about Charleston first.” But, he’s also quick to point out that it’s just as much about getting away, like the title suggests. “Yeah, we’re going through all this shit, y’all,” he said. “We’re struggling, we’re hurting, we’re stressed out, we’re tired, but let’s always remember to give ourselves 30 minutes to get away. We’ve got to breathe, we’ve got to meditate, we’ve got to go for a walk.” DeeZy makes an effort to give listeners that 30 minutes to relax, hoping listeners can find something calming in his music. “It’s therapy,” DeeZy said. “I’m there for [people], I’ll always be there for them, I’ll always talk about what I need to talk about, but people got to understand that I’m still going to be myself and have fun on these records. It’s just a bomb-ass therapy session.”

ELECTRONIC | Moontalkr Moontalkr dropped a groovy and spacy remix of Human Resources’ single “Girlfriend’s House” Monday. The original track was a moody and slightly funky indie-pop song. In the hands of Moontalkr’s Jeffrey Wilson, it’s got plenty of bounce, working as a lounge song or a hard-hitting club tune. Wilson also gives an extra emphasis to the vocals, letting the music and drums rise to the song’s melancholy lyrics. This is the first of three remixes being released for “Girlfriend’s House” this week. After Moontalkr’s take on the electro-pop tune, local world beat artist Oukuo took a crack at it on Tuesday and the Landing took the track on Wednesday. Wilson’s remix is easy to spin again and again, perfect for a DJ set. It’s overall a lively reimagining of one of Human Resources’ latest singles. In the past, Moontalkr has veered more toward funk over club mixes. Granted, Wilson’s music has always been heavy on the production side. Tracks like “Ode” and “Omen” showed Moontalkr’s differing personalities, according to City Paper writer Henry Clark. Wilson continues to have plenty of range as a songwriter and composer. His remix of “Girlfriend’s House” serves as a fitting reminder. All three remixes can be heard on spotify.com by Wednesday. —Heath Ellison MONDAY

20 Ride, a Charlotte-based Zac Brown Band tribute, was initially inspired to pay homage to the country outfit on account of that outlaw group’s “high level of musicianship” as well as “the complexity of the songs,” said Jeff Jones. It’s also perfect summer time music, he adds, because it “creates a relaxing and fun atmosphere.” A down-home party is what to expect July 25 when 20 Ride returns to the Lowcountry to serve as the headliner for the final installment of the Safe Sounds at Firefly Music Series. Though they are adept at channeling Brown’s most endearing tracks, including “Chicken Fried,” “Colder Weather,” and “Highway 20 Ride,” Jones said that attendees can also count on hearing an assortment of well-chosen outside covers spanning the last 50 or so years of popular music. “We like to incorporate some variety in order to give everyone something to look forward to.” Tickets for Safe Sounds can be purchased at citypapertickets.com (operated by the City Paper). The show starts at 6 p.m. —Kevin Wilson SATURDAY
