Blank Slate Tour
Kwame Akoto-Bamfo unveils his latest work, a powerful and thought-provoking interactive sculpture titled Blank Slate: Hope for a New America, during a summer tour of major cities across the South and Midwest. The mobile art installation aims to engage Americans in a conversation on hope and healing, including an interactive “Blank Slate” component. Visitors will be encouraged to share their opinions in real time on the fight for racial justice, and their words will be displayed anonymously onto the slate.
You can now visit each of our tour stops virtually through the Blank Slate Story Map produced by Rice University students.
