🕊️ Last chance to view: @vanessalgerman’s public sculpture Of Thee We Sing, 2023, installed at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. “I want to see the figure of a Black woman in sculpture at the Mall,” german notes, “something more joyful than commemoration: an intimation to take up space.” The artist’s work, featured in Beyond Granite: Pulling Together (curated by @monument_lab), immortalizes Marian Anderson's iconic 1939 Easter Sunday performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The nine-foot steel and resin sculpture includes an imaginative figural representation of Anderson held up by a sea of hands and Sandhof lilies. Anderson’s image, taken from historic photographs, is repeated around the top edge, while the notes of the spiritual “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen” appear in the details of her blue dress, the color symbolic of healing.
