Embark on a scavenger hunt around Harriet Tubman Grove in Wyman Park Dell to identify plants native to Baltimore. Use natural watercolors made from native plants and those that Tubman used for making medicine, such as sassafras and geranium, to create a linocut painting inspired by your connection with their spiritual and holistic benefits.
Call to Light, Earth Responds is an ode to call-and-response music in African American culture and is inspired by Harriet Tubman’s relationship with nature and our innate connection to plants in how we grow, bend, and move in our attempts to thrive.
This outdoor workshop is offered in connection with the BMA’s Turn Again to the Earth initiative. Justen Leroy’s three-channel film installation Lay Me Down in Praise (2022), on view in Crosscurrents: Works from the Contemporary Collection, is a source of inspiration.
