The United States will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. But how much do the document’s values truly resonate in today’s America? Have they ever?⁠
⁠
A new art exhibition, featuring 10 large-scale talking drum sculptures by 11 Detroit artists, examines these questions. Presented by Bedrock’s Decked Out Detroit, non-profit The Stories of Us and the Downtown Detroit Partnership, the show encourages viewers to learn about the past, understand the present, and reimagine the future — focusing on the Declaration’s ideals of solidarity and equity.⁠
⁠
Created by Shaw Scott Adjaye and Dennis Marcus, the art education nonprofit’s first-ever exhibit is debuting in Detroit at Capitol Park from June 12-July 7, then moving to Valade Park from July 9-Aug. 15, and finally will be on display at the Afro Nation Detroit festival from Aug. 18-19. After Detroit, the exhibit will travel to Atlanta and other U.S. cities over the next year and a half, growing to feature 50 sculptures by 2026.⁠
