On View

July 5 - 14 2026

250 Years from Mr. Freedman is a solo exhibition by Fletcher Williams III, held in historic Storehouse 8 at Navy Yard Charleston, in conjunction with the 250th anniversary of the United States. The exhibition presents a series of wall reliefs created from the tin-roof of a burned Freedom Cottage in Charleston, SC.

The works introduce Mr. Freedman, a figure whose life has spanned centuries and whose accounts move between Charleston and the American South. Drawing upon Revolutionary-era history, Black Loyalist narratives, and Lowcountry folklore, the exhibition positions each artwork as an entry in the chronicle of Mr. Freedman’s life and legacy.

An assortment of motifs referencing regional mythology, national symbolism, and the architectural landscape of the Lowcountry, appear throughout the works. 250 Years from Mr. Freedman centers Charleston’s role within the American revolutionary story while expressing history as something lived, remembered, inherited, and continually retold. Download Press Release
