Install week for “People and Places You Don’t Know How to Know” has arrived! Here, Student assistants Tyryn and Ivan move paintings and sculpture in style. Stay tuned for more!

We are so excited to announce our next exhibition, “People and Places You Don’t Know How To Know,” debuting new work by Baltimore-based artist Dave Eassa ()! Opening on January 14, with a reception from 6-8pm.

This body of work was created through a confluence of personal and world events that sent Eassa down a path of exploration, beginning in Baltimore and ending in the Middle East, specifically Jordan and Lebanon.

A long-time advocate for the healing power of art in communities, Eassa launched an organization that brings art to incarcerated men and women, serves as a global ambassador against youth violence, and fosters community relationships through skateboarding and the Museum world. Following the shooting death of his childhood best friend in 2019, Eassa grappled with feelings of loss, grief, and a longing to examine his most intimate relationships with increased care and curiosity. This trauma catalyzed his excavation of family history and desire to connect with the land and culture of his ancestors. As the pandemic seemed to wane in the summer of 2021, Eassa took the opportunity to leave for 5 week residency at in Amman, Jordan whose mission is “supporting the development of inclusive public spaces for youth through skateboarding ideology.” There, Eassa hosted art workshops for 7Hills youth members, led a community designed mural in downtown Amman, and traveled to Beirut to join an international coalition of volunteers to help build Lebanon’s first public skatepark and connect with the Arab people. Immersed in his culture, shepherded by the community of skateboarders and artists he met, he felt both like he’d come home and that he was distinctly American in a foreign country, a sentiment with which many of those from any diaspora often identify.

Follow along for a peak at installation and be sure to join us at our reception on 1/14!
