These Hands Built, curated by Daonne Huff, is still on view at BLDG 92. This unique piece by Cheyanne Epps and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez was in exhibition during February’s Black Artstory Artwalk. Drawing inspiration from archival photographs of African-American workers sewing flags and building ships as well as the quilts of Gee’s Bend and Faith Ringgold, this patchwork quilt recognizes and honors the physical labor and craft work demonstrated by those African American men and women who worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War 2.

On view until further notice.
