This is South Carolina Rave Culture
Words and photos by Sean Rayford
When you think about South Carolina — a few things might come to mind:
Bad politicians, boiled peanuts, and poverty.
And in Columbia, SC — it might be the Gamecocks, Fort Jackson and Hootie and the Blowfish. But we’ve got more than that — including a tradition where young people reclaim empty buildings for a place to pump music and dance all night. This isn’t New York or London — this is South Carolina Rave Culture, engineered by Folk Tech Worldwide — Saturday, August 16, 2025.
If you’re looking for a photo workshop in South Carolina or Florida, I offer hands-on, personalized photo workshops built around your goals. It starts with a short conversation so I can design the training with you.
