ACP 11 Public Art participating artist Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier has an opening for Mapping the Present Just Went By at Madison-Morgan Cultural Center on Friday, July 16th at 5pm.
“”MAPPING THE PRESENT JUST WENT BY is about being in long ago Madison and Madison today and capturing memories that linger with elders. It is about the African continuum, which is simultaneously located in the present, past, and future, and re-imagining place as it transforms. People live, people die, land is transferred from one generation to the next, or sold to strangers. Frederick Douglass said, ‘We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.’ My work makes new memories from the voices, dreams, and imaginings of the community.”
