The Arm of Liberty 2020

This video serves as documentation for a community cleaning of a replica Statue of Liberty, organized at Chimborazo Par in Richmond, VA.

The performance was titled "The Arm of Liberty", after the 1950's Boy Scout Initiative to place these replica statues of Freedom all around the country. This performance was curated by Park Meyers at 1708 Gallery, for their annual InLight art festival.

For the documentation of this performance, I have begun to collect interviews from various participants and spectators, asking them to reminisce about what aspects of that night that they remember most vividly. In this way, new histories are being made about the space of land currently known as Chimborazo Park.
