Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes, We Fly
Exhibition at the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture
The Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture presents Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes, We Fly, an intergenerational group exhibition organized by curator Angela N. Carroll. On view from August 25 through November 24, the exhibition features artists based in or connected to Baltimore, exploring the city’s cultural landscape through experimental and interdisciplinary practices. The exhibition title is inspired by the narrative poetry of multidisciplinary artist NIA JUNE.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes, We Fly includes work by Kelvin Bulluck, Roy Crosse, Brianna Faulkner, Darrius Fox, Lehna Huie, Jeffrey Kent, Ada Pinkston, Kim Rice, Margaret Rorison, Ernest Shaw, Shan Wallace, and Jasmine Gabrielle Washington, and the presentation of a filmic work produced by the collective NIA JUNE + Kirby Griffin + APoetNamedNate.
Through serial compositions, photographic triptychs, floating installations, and cinema, the participating artists examine themes of home, memory, and community. The exhibition aims to offer perspective on these themes through the lens of Baltimore’s creative community.
