After discovering that Govans Presbyterian Church in Northeast Baltimore sat on land that was previously part of a plantation, the church's racial justice committee commissioned artist Ky Vassor to create artwork titled, "Sanctuary City Part I & II." The permanent installation is comprised of two panels which intricately depict the diverse voices and people that compose the Baltimore community.
Vassor joins Midday to discuss their artwork in addition to Myra Brosius who researched the church’s history.
Ky Vassor is a Baltimore-based artist and curator. They are also an adjunct professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Myra Brosius is a member of Govans Presbyterian Church.
