Queen City confronts the 1941 seizure of Black-owned land by the federal government for the construction of the Pentagon through representations of 903 displaced residents as handmade ceramic vessels shaped and colored like drops of water. Created in a spirit of collaboration, the work involved Black ceramicists from the local area and beyond, along with historians, living descendants of Queen City residents, and local art spaces.
