Gary L. Moore, Detail, Into the colors and sounds of the city’s morning, 2008, colored pencil on paper.

This exhibition’s title comes from a short story with the same name by Edward P. Jones, author of The Known World. In the story, the relationship between a father and daughter, living in 1960’s Washington D.C., changes as a nearby railroad company buys up property and the neighborhood around them disappears. The story’s themes and images appear in the work: family, loss, displacement, community vigilance, changing landscapes. The show includes photography, drawing, and painting by Gary L. Moore, Kathleen Hudspeth, Ryan Holloway, Adler Guerrier, David Rohn, Vanessa Tomchik, Karla Turcios, Bayunga Kialeuka, and others. Curated by Library Curator Denise Delgado.

HEAL: A Place to Call Home in collaboration with Rhythmic Rapture

HEAL: A Place to Call Home is an arts-intervention program, initiated by arts group Rhythmic Rapture, which uses the arts to facilitate personal transformation for displaced and homeless populations.

The Girl Who Raised Pigeons is part of this program series.

Saturday, October 18, 1:00-3:00pm

Main Library, Auditorium, 101 West Flagler Street, Miami – 305-2665
