Street Talk: Aminah's Mt. Vernon Avenue
December 2010

This exhibition of Aminah Robinson's RagGonNons, paintings, drawings, hogmawg sculptures, prints, and books bring to life the Mt. Vernon Avenue neighborhood, the heart of the African-American community that flourished on the eastside of Columbus until the early 1960s. At the heart of the exhibition, are the scroll-like Memory Maps in which Aminah records every detail of the bustling life that energized the street. The Memory Maps became the basis for Aminah's published book, A Street Called Home. Visitors will be able to gain insight into Aminah's creative process by examining Aminah's original art for the book and the studies that preceded it. A special feature of the exhibition is an array of video-taped interviews with people who share firsthand memories and handed-down stories of living and working on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
