The Unveiling of God / a love letter to my forefathers

August 25–December 18, 2026


On view in the CADVC theater during open hours, and nightly in the Fine Arts Building amphitheater

NIA JUNE + Kirby Griffin + APoetNamedNate, The Unveiling of God / a love letter to my forefathers, 2021. 20 minutes, 7 seconds

Working with longtime collaborators Kirby Griffin and APoetNamedNate, NIA JUNE created “The Unveiling of God / a love letter to my forefathers” as a visual representation of her reflections about her forefathers and the Black men who have been prematurely removed from her life. Presented in a new outdoor format, the revised installation encourages broader audiences to engage with powerful narratives as told by a cadre of visionaries who are prolifically inspired by the everyday life among communities in Baltimore.
