Story In The Stitches: Interpreting The Figures

About this event

What are they wearing and why? It’s a common question we hear. As part of African Landing Commemoration Week, join us for this special Community Forum as we explore in detail the design of The Figures, the first sculpture of the African Landing Memorial at Fort Monroe. We will share the extensive research, multi-institutional collaboration, and community care that went in to dressing The Figures, including how the selected clothing illuminates the lived experience of the wearer. The event is free and open to the public. SPACE IS LIMITED and registration is requested. See the event line up for African Landing Commemoration Week at VisitHampton.com/AFL
