LEARN ABOUT OUR HISTORY THROUGH ART

The I Was Here experience merges the arts and humanities with history. This “on-the-street museum” teaches you about the history of slavery in Lexington and how it has influenced the I Was Here art project. Each of the 11 real-world sites around Lexington includes a video showing a piece of art from the project, and how each piece relates to the history of that location.
