An interdisciplinary, community–centered project focused on using art to activate the public memory of women, like Sally Hemings, whose lives have been erased or marginalized.
In Brooklyn, SALLY was presented in three distinctly different exhibition spaces that serve a variety of communities, ensuring that the exhibition reached both art and non–art audiences. Each exhibition was reflective of the place that it was presented in.
An active boathouse and community space with a collection of red canoes, The Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse offers the community waterfront access and educational programs. SALLY will be exhibited on its 18–foot high, raw concrete block walls. Selected works will evoke shipwrecks, like the one that ended Margaret Fuller’s life in 1850, and other untimely ends women have succumbed to in their quest for independence.
