Sedrick Huckaby's Black Bird Redemption Song

Sedrick Huckaby's Black Bird Redemption Song is a vibrant, moving art exhibition blending sculpture, drawing, and video to explore community stories, heritage, and hope. Huckaby's large-scale sculptural birds—in striking papier-mâché—rest in vintage birdcages too small to hold them, powerfully symbolizing themes of struggle, confinement, and the quest for freedom.
