Work On Display: New Outfits

New Outfits places decorative cloaks made by communities in Baltimore over the monuments in the parks of Mount Vernon Place. These decorative cloaks temporarily re-dress the monuments of General Lafayette, George Peabody, Severn Teackle Wallis, Roger B. Taney, and John Eager Howard. New Outfits were made in workshops by diverse groups of Baltimore community centers and resident groups, in which the artist, Rebecca Nagle, acted as an educator and a facilitator. New Outfits gives people access to the power that the monuments symbolize.
