The Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola University Maryland is proud to welcome Baltimore native, and internationally renowned artist and activist Devin Allen to Loyola’s campus! A Piece of Me Died with You is a deeply personal exploration of loss, grief, and coping that also shines a light on the pervasive issue of gun violence in Baltimore and its effects and aftermaths within the communities that suffer most. Devin Allen, a self-taught artist, gained notoriety after his photograph of the Baltimore Uprising was published on the cover of TIME in May 2015.
