The Praise House Project at Emory, is a public art installation and immersive digital experience culminating a multi-year engagement between artist-activist Charmaine Minniefield and Emory University. Located on the grounds of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church, Minniefield’s Praise House Project is presented in partnership with Emory University and with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The building is modeled after historical praise houses—small, wooden structures commonly used for worship by enslaved African Americans in the coastal South. As an act of resistance, historical praise house congregants would gather in a circle to shout and stomp upon the wooden floors, performing what is known as the Ring Shout. This act created a communal drum, secretly preserving the cultural identity and traditions of communities.

The Praise House Project features an immersive digital rendition of a Ring Shour performance.
