Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes, We Fly
Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes, We Fly is an intergenerational group exhibition organized by curator Angela N. Carroll and presented by the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture. Bringing together artists based in or connected to Baltimore, the exhibition explores the city’s cultural landscape through experimental and interdisciplinary approaches. Its title draws from the narrative poetry of multidisciplinary artist NIA JUNE.
The exhibition considers home, memory, and community through serial compositions, photographic triptychs, floating installations, and cinema. It includes a filmic work created by the collective NIA JUNE, Kirby Griffin, and APoetNamedNate, as well as work by a broad group of Baltimore-connected artists.
