Making a Garden of Strange Fruit

This exhibition is intended to prototype Marion Legacy, a site of remembrance and contemplation acknowledging the 1930 lynching of James Cameron, Thomas Shipp, and Abraham S. Smith. The project is by Marion-born artist Samuel Levi Jones and his collaborators LAA Office and Sam Van Aken. Making a Garden of Strange Fruit was previously featured at the Chicago Cultural Center for the Chicago Architecture Biennial:
THIS IS A REHEARSAL in 2023/24.

This installation will be available for the public to view from February 21st to July 1st of 2025.
