Make an appointment at this Old Goucher gallery from September 11 to October 16 to examine personal links to the South, both concrete and conceptual, in the work of 10 Black artists. Co-curated by artist Felandus Thames and historian-curator Key Jo Lee, this collection does not just ruminate on the past, but experiments with current identity and sets the region apart as something beyond location: “a repository for memory, hallowed ground for Black people, and a cornerstone for cultural transmission in the West.”
