Mint Museum Uptown, 500 S Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina, is holding an opening celebration for Whitfield Lovell: Passages on Saturday, June 29, 2024, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, June 30, 1 to 5 p.m.
Admission is free to the celebration, including the rest of the museum, this weekend.
Whitfield Lovell: Passages will be on display at Mint Museum Uptown from June 29 to September 22, 2024. It consists of two immersive installations and around 30 additional works.
The multi-sensory exhibition spans gallery space on two levels of Mint Museum, and interprets the lives of African American people between emancipation and the Civil Rights movements.
Highlights of Exhibit
Through installations that reach out to your senses — the smell of soil and cigars, the sound of river waters lapping along the shore, video projections, and intricate, often life-size portrait drawings — artist Whitfield Lovell tells the stories of anonymous African Americans who sought to build communities and live comfortable lives despite perilous circumstances. The exhibition explores social progress, physical migration, and hidden histories that are part of the African American experience.
