"We're Moving"
In April, we moved into our studios at 7 Kirkpatrick Street in New Brunswick, NJ for the Art City / CoLAB residency.
The slideshow below shows my initial research about New Brunswick - it was presented with a crankie box during our open studios in May.
The most heartbreaking stories from my research were about the people who were kidnapped during the turmoil following the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
New Brunswick, known for its significance as a stop on the Underground Railroad along the Raritan River, eventually became a hub for slave hunters. Unfortunately, it played a substantial role in capturing and returning runaway and freed Black people to the South, where they were sold back into slavery.
One of the posters from Boston at that time warns of the kidnappers, as seen here. The language used in the poster remains too familiar in 2026, as we grapple with the chaos of immigration enforcement efforts in this country.
