Performance artist, Sheila Gaskins kicked us off with a TED Talk from an enslaved ancestor addressing Sheila's fascination with the everyday lives of enslaved people. She was much more comedic in her approach than I think anyone was expecting.

Alish Hopper's poem, "When is an Apple Not an Apple" was one I could have read a dozen times.

Jamal Moore took us on a journey with the use of sound and music. While he never said a word during his performance, the rhythm and the pulse of the drum, the kalimba, his use of shells, bells and the saxophone all brought his untold story to life.

Photographer/filmmaker Noor Khan's interpretation of the Carte de Visite of Nancy Davis and Eliza Ridgely overplayed with a map of the Ridgley property as it appears today still has my attention.

The show closed with a short documentary film on East Towson.

The opportunity to work with Towson University professors and students on this project was a collaboration I never saw coming, but I sure am glad it did.
