Artscape’s Indelible Silver Lining: A Recap
For so many Baltimore residents, Artscape has been a constant, a tradition long in our memories—at least before the pandemic. You could always count on the blistering heat, drinking in the street, unique art interventions, a torrential downpour at some point, and festival-goers returning year after year. The absence...

Carving a Place for Baltimore’s Indigenous and Latino Artists at Center Stage and Creative Alliance
In a city like Baltimore—whose population is more than 70% people of color—it is of great importance for institutions to authentically engage with and serve the communities in which they are based. Center Stage’s new Indigenous Art Gallery achieves this benchmark, as it continually displays work from contemporary Native American artists. In the same spirit, Creative Alliance’s Taking Space showcases Latino artists established in Baltimore. Both of these spaces serve as overdue yet effective platforms for underrepresented communities and artists of color.

The series depicts migrants who might be fleeing drought, famine, wildfires, floods—or the political instability exacerbated by all of the above—here rendered in industrial processes and materials to create armor-like yet unwearable garments. The association with protection and territory feels equal parts feudal and futile—the laser-cut armor can neither effectively shield nor comfortably sit on a body, but questions what happens when the implied absent bodies can no longer belong to a place on an overheating planet.
