Kim Rice: Inheritance
Inheritance by Kim Rice was scheduled prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and the heinous murders of yet more Black people, some by police, including Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor. In our present historical moment of facing the race divides of America and how black and brown people have been continuously discriminated against; it is the pivotal time to applify as many voices as possible around the discussion of equal justice and de-investing police funds to invest in real social change in marginalized communities. For years we have seen examples of activism through artwork, but, rarely from white artists specifically informed by their privilege as a white person. In this exhibit Rice takes the unique approach of not trying to tell a story that does not relate to her personal story while confronting racism and white privilege.
Devin Allen: Spaces of the Un-Entitled
Devin Allen’s Spaces of the Un-Entitled extends his work in A Beautiful Ghetto into the spaces people inhabit, examining the remnants of lives uprooted or left behind. “These things are characters, too,” he explains- “Imagine how hard it was to leave some of these things behind.” Allen’s philosophy pays respect to the landscapes he works with, the life stories written into the walls. In this exhibition, Allen contemplates the simple possessions that make a home, the history contained within the discarded, forgotten, and missed pieces of a life. Click on the individual photographs in the virtual tour to hear Devin talking about their inception.

Adam Stab: Street Life Art
Adam Stab first moved to Baltimore in 1983 he was 13 years old, without siblings or friends, alone and a loner. He was drawn to the streets, plunging into its depths on his skateboard, into alleys so deep they became urban canyons, a webbing of traverses opening to infinite possibilities for a kid searching for himself in a concrete jungle. It was in this state of search and discovery that Stab found the “heat (he) had never known, a first full breath of passion” never inhaled before. This tour does not include audio.
