Artists Presentations for Commemorative Memorial

St. Mary's College of Maryland will host three artists who will present design proposals from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Feb. 12, 13 and 14 for a contemplative memorial to commemorate the lives of enslaved peoples of Southern Maryland.

Presentations, open to the public, by Norman Lee & Shane Allbritton of RE:Site (Feb. 12), The studio of Donna Dobberfuhl (Feb. 13), and Steven Prince (Feb. 14) are the latest in an ongoing effort by the College in designing, A Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland, an effort inspired by archaeological investigations revealing evidence of two separate and distinct slave quarters: one from the eighteenth century; the other from the nineteenth century.
