Story In The Stitches: Interpreting The Figures

What are they wearing and why? It's a common question we hear. As part of African Landing Commemoration Week, join us for this special Community Forum as we explore in detail the design of The Figures, the first sculpture of the African Landing Memorial at Fort Monroe. We will share the extensive research, multi-institutional collaboration, and community care that went in to dressing The Figures, including how the selected clothing illuminates the lived experience of the wearer. Wednesday, August 26th, 2026 6pm - 7pm in the Visitor Center 30 Ingalls Road, Fort Monroe FREE - Registration Required (Coming Soon!) Livestreaming on Youtube - Fort Monroe
