It was a true honor to see the wide variety of styles, media and ideas in the work, and the clear commitment of the students to advancing their practice. I am excited to see where their work goes from here, and I hope being a part of this exhibition will play a small part in building momentum towards a lifelong dedication to making art.”

Remembering the Names of Slaves
By Darlene R. Taylor
Kohl Gallery is excited to present Darlene R. Taylor’s monumental collage, “Remembering
the Names of Slaves” in our Gibson Center for the Arts Atrium immediately outside
Kohl Gallery. Arranged with vintage linens, lace, cottons, and buttons, this large-scale
work from Taylor’s Heirlooms Series honors the memories of Black women and girls.
Speaking about this work, Taylor an artist and who spends much of her time on the
Eastern Shore has said, “Heirlooms is a conversation between generations inspired
by historical landscapes and imagined personal narratives of people we know little
about. When I discover archival images of unnamed women, I want to touch behind the
gazes that greet me to know the whispers, witness, and memories they hold.”
“Remembering the Names of Slaves” is on view in the Gibson Center for the Arts Atrium
from May 28 - December 1, 2025. Entrance to the atrium is free and the hours are...
This work is on view courtesy of the Amy Haines and Richard Marks Collection and
