Big Tent is a portable community based artwork highlighting issues of diversity race and inclusion.

Big Tent is portable venue for the arts that brings people together to talk about their common experiences of race and ethnicity. Artwork from high school and college students in Winston-Salem is incorporated into the Tent with images and text, and we present performance, video and art as a touchstone for dialogue.

Juneteenth Festival 2017 at Baily Park, Innovation Quarter in Downtown Winston-Salem! Thanks to a grant from the Provost at Wake Forest, we were able to print a series of Ann Nguyen's recent photographs and hang them in the Tent. By showing a range of skin tone colors in self identified people of color, these large photos confront us with the ways that photography uses an idea of 'normalcy'. We got a great response from the diverse audience at Juneteenth! Ann and I will bring the show to the quad at Wake Forest in September.

We brought Big Tent to the Juneteenth Festival on Saturday, June 21 and helped the African-American community celebrate the anniversary of freedom. This was a lively event with lots of music and food, and Big Tent felt right at home! We started a project called 'Rings of Truth'- interlocking cardboard and paper rings with quotes and messages hung from the tent, and used this occasion to honor Dr. Maya Angelou by quoting some of her wonderful words.
