Sedrick Huckaby's Black Bird Redemption Song

Experience the powerful art of Sedrick Huckaby at "Black Bird Redemption Song"—an inspiring exhibition at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. This showcase features Huckaby’s papier-mâché bird sculptures placed within antique cages, accompanied by emotive drawings that explore the complex themes of confinement, freedom, and the impact of mass incarceration on Black communities.

• Marvel at sculptural works that challenge the boundaries of their cages as a metaphor for systemic injustice and liberation.
• View poignant installations, including a life-sized tribute to Craig Watkins, Texas’s first Black District Attorney, and multimedia pieces honoring the story of Fred Rouse.
• Explore decades of Huckaby’s artistry, connecting historical and present experiences through sculpture, drawing, and video.

This exhibition celebrates the strength of community, the spirit of redemption, and the pursuit of thoughtful change—all set in the tranquil beauty of the Umlauf Sculpture Garden.
