This project is a large-scale sculptural restoration, reviving a significant Brooklyn mural for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Created in 1941 by renowned Harlem Renaissance artist Richmond Barthé, Exodus and Dance is an 8-foot by 80-foot frieze that stands as a testament to Barthé’s mastery in depicting movement, spirituality, and the historical narratives of African-American communities. Barthé, one of the most influential African-American sculptors of the 20th century, was known for his strikingly realistic depictions of religious themes and historical figures. Hi
