RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Two recent installations to the “Race in Richmond” exhibit at Main Street Station, jointly called “Healing in Richmond,” will allow visitors to celebrate humanity through both portraits and voices until the end of June.
Race in Richmond is a community-driven effort exploring race and identity in the city.
“I See You: A Portrait Experience” and “I Hear You: A Speaking Experience” both aim to “dive into the essence of Richmond’s people” and celebrate humanity “in its truest form,” according to a June 24 press release from Race in Richmond.
