BDM statue installation I returned to see, more on that later), Thurgood Marshall and Matthew Henson. The exhibit, “Deep Roots, Rising Waters,” represents Black life in Maryland. Also on display are African and African American art pieces, including the aforementioned murals, and African masks.
Special events presented throughout the year include performances, workshops, lectures, educational programs and special exhibits. Additionally. the BDM offers a library and archives. Mylene was impressed with The Black Vote Mural Project that she saw in 2021. The exhibit explored the intersection of public art, Black voices and civil rights with 17 murals and an installation that transformed the interior galleries of the museum. The murals were painted by regional artists.
The newest BDM exhibit, available for viewing through September 30, 2023, is The Radical Voice of Blackness Speaks of Resistance and Joy. The exhibit is described as presenting “fine art by fifteen Black Maryland-based artists, as well as the BDM’s Fine Art Collection to examine historic and contemporary themes of Black joy and healing created in opposition to and despite of oppression…paintings, photographs, prints, videos and conceptual works…give voice to the voiceless and dispossessed.”
An outstanding piece of BDM’s
Araminta with Rifle and Veve
new exhibit graces a spot just outside the museum’s main entry door. I recently stopped by to admire the 10-foot-tall sculpture of Harriet Tubman titled Araminta with Rifle and Veve. Araminta was Tubman’s given name at birth. The monument was created by Dr. Joyce J. Scott, a Baltimore native, MacArthur Fellowship “genius grant” recipient and a nationally and internationally acclaimed artist. She has been called one of Maryland’s greatest artists.
The impressive reddish brown sculpture is made of painted milled foam with found objects, blown glass and mixed media appliques. Tubman stands ramrod straight and holds in her hands a beautiful beaded rifle adorned with flowers and a beaded staff, called a “veve,” representing Scott’s continuing artistic themes of legacy and defiance. The monument celebrates the Harriet Tubman Bicentennial.
Bella was not present when we visited the newest BDM sculpture, but she was with us when we visited the Maryland State House, where she admired the statues of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. And she was with us when we visited the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial at the Annapolis City Dock. The site commemorates the arrival of the enslaved Kunta Kinte at that location in 1767. The bronze statue is of a seated Alex Haley, a descendant of Kinte,
