In anticipation of the Praise House Project in 2023, for February in honor of Black History Month, artist-activist Charmaine Minniefield will present a series of site specific public art installations, exhibitions and programs in downtown Atlanta, along Auburn Avenue and in the King Historic District. The series will activate multiple public spaces to acknowledge the history of the 1906 Race Massacre and the legacy of Black resistance. Feb. 3 at Sunset (5:30 p.m.)
Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) at Georgia State at 25 Park Pl NE. Through funds received from A&E Atlanta, The Praise House Project collaborates with the CMII Lab, located where Peachtree meets Auburn Avenue, to create a new digital media work to acknowledge the 1906 Race Massacre. The work will draw from the archives of the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American History and Culture and community partners in the district. The presentation will mark the beginning of an ongoing collaboration with the CMII Lab to advance the digital media and technology of the Praise House Project. Locations along Auburn will be on view from sunset to 9pm.
