Join us as 21c Museum Director and Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites unveils the public art project Unlearn Fear + Hate by Lexington-based artists Kremena Todorova and Kurt Ghode. This participatory and multi-venue project will start outside 21c Museum on Upper street – the nexus of a conversation between 21^st century art and the most visible symbols of Lexington’s difficult history.

21c Lexington welcomes this participatory art project as we continue to support local artists, community dialogue, and engagement with a civic conversation affecting all of Lexington’s residents.

Todorova and Ghode have gathered leaders from city government, multi-faith institutions, arts and cultural establishments, and educators – to unveil this inspiring artwork, and extend an invitation to all of Lexington: Come participate in Unlearn Fear + Hate.

The artists will take photos of members of the community in front of the halo from 11am-6pm. Participants are encouraged to share their “selfies” on social media using the hashtag #UnlearnFearandHate. The photos will also be shared a Unlearn Fear + Hate Facebook group.

Speakers include:
Alice Gray Stites – Museum Director and Chief Curator 21c Museum Hotels
Steve Kay – Vice Mayor of Lexington
Nan Plummer – LexArts
Ashley Smith – Lyric Theater
Brian Cole – Good Shepherd Episcopal
Adrian Wallace – NAACP
