Juneteenth Celebration 2024 | Freedom’s Voices from Jubilee to Reparations
Spend the day celebrating Juneteenth with Reginald F. Lewis Museum through intergenerational and artistic voices expressing freedom, “jubilee”, and reparations. Enjoy a Freedom Quilt Artist Talk on emancipation and create your own Juneteenth quilt block square with story quilter, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither. Music lovers can experience a musical concert of “jubilee” with the Carter Legacy Singers while theatergoers can hear today’s youth honor Black Woman Genius fiber artists with their monologues co-written by artistic producer Wordsmith. Museum visitors can end the day discussing what reparations look like in Baltimore and beyond with the film screening and panel discussion of Pay Up..Get Out of the Way with filmmaker John Comer. Juneteenth refreshments will be available while supplies last.
As Juneteenth approaches, Sagamore Pendry Baltimore is gearing up to honor the spirit of freedom and empowerment with an unforgettable evening of celebration. Hotel guests and locals alike are invited to step into The Courtyard and immerse themselves in the vibrant energy of a Juneteenth Artist Talk with Mixed Mediums, where art, culture, and community come together in a beautiful tapestry of expression. Partnering with Mixed Mediums, we are proud to spotlight black artists and the dynamic Baltimore art scene. The festivities kick off with a captivating cocktail hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, where guests can mingle and indulge in handcrafted libations against the backdrop of live music and lively conversation. Then, prepare to be inspired as we transition into a live artist panel talk hosted by the talented Kid Balloon in conversation with the esteemed artist Monica Ikegwu, whose remarkable works will be on display throughout the event.
