Curated by the editors of The New York Times Magazine, led by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, this illustrated edition of The 1619 Project features seven chapters from the original book that lend themselves to beautiful, engaging visuals, that deepen the experience of the content. This exhibition includes original artworks by 10 Black artists which highlight themes of resistance and freedom. These artists are BMike, Dr. D’Wayne Edwards, Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Jon Key, Bryant Lamont, Johnny Nelson, Charly Palmer, Fahamu Pecou, Vitus Shell, and Carrie Mae Weems. On the second floor, closer looks at the book and history of The 1619 Project, with pages reflecting on Black patriotism, reparations and social justice.
