Made from thousands of handmade ceramic tiles, The Hem of Heaven was created by artist Nekisha Durrett in collaboration with a community of ceramicists, including myself. Inspired by a shawl worn by Harriet Tubman, the 24-ft tall sculpture brings together individual tiles created by participating ceramicists, each responding to the colors and atmosphere of the night sky. The collective process reflects the shared effort, mutual support, and collective action that have shaped movements for freedom throughout history.
