The program is part of Umbrella’s artistic programs that examine the 250th through a lens that amplifies underrepresented voices in Concord’s history. It is presented in partnership with The Walden Woods Project, The Robbins House, Concord250 and Gather, the regional fiber arts symposium. Featured artists in the exhibition are Ifé Franklin, Stephen Hamilton, Whitney Harris, Ekua Holmes, Perla Mabel, Marla McLeod, Kimberly Love Radcliffe, and Anthony Peyton Young.
