A powerful new landscape of art in Montgomery, Alabama, aims to re-center American history on the enslaved and Indigenous people who lived through its brutality.
At the park, the history and life stories of enslaved and Indigenous people are told alongside beautiful works of art by Kwame Akoto-Bamfo, Alison Saar, Kehinde Wiley, and many others. Simone Leigh’s “Brick House,” which Stevenson first saw in Venice during the Biennale, sets the stage: a magnificent 16-foot bronze bust of a Black woman with an afro framed by two cornrows with cowrie shells at the end.
A monument that allowed people to see their name, could be really, really, really powerful. And first it was going to be ten feet tall, then it was going to be 20 feet tall. And I said, “It needs to be big.” We had a lot of names that we had that we wanted to put on. And I said, “No, we have to put all of them on.” I'm really happy with the way it came out. You know my thought was this is a book on history that no one has opened, so we're going to open the book.
