"Thick as Thieves: Images from the Bultman Family 1930-1942," offers a glimpse into the lives of a successful mixed race family living in Sumter, South Carolina during the years of the Great Depression and up to U.S. involvement in World War II. The photographs were printed by Bultman-Lewis from film shot by her grandfather and uncle, William Bultman, Sr. and William Bultman, Jr. More representative of her usual artistic expression, selections from "The Elmina Series" are also on display. These are photographs Bultman-Lewis made at Elmina Castle in Ghana, West Africa which she has digitally enhanced with Ghanaian proverbs and Adinkra symbols. These additions to the photographs pay homage to elements within the Akan culture in Ghana. With both bodies of work, Bultman-Lewis expresses her goal “to challenge the viewer’s personal convictions regarding cultural stereotypes.”

Exhibition on display May 16 – June 17, 2008.
