Explore the legend of the"Godmother of Rock and Roll" with an art installation at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library.We're in the midst of our spring campaign, and we have until June 7 to raise $12,000. This money directly supports the journalismproduces and helps keep our work freely accessible for all, because not everyone can afford to pay for news. If you value our work, please make a contribution today to help us reach our goal.
"You can either sit until the curtain closes or you can show up every day," Duplessis says."The one thing the doctors couldn't tell me was when I would lose my vision. I prayed about it, and I spoke with my husband, Shaun, who is an incredible source of support and encouragement. I had worked for others for nearly twenty years and knew what that experience was like, but I realized that if I did not start centering my own art, I would never know what that path looked like.
The chance to actualize the installation took shape after Duplessis completed her residency in Trinidad at the East Street School and returned to Denver. At an exhibition at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library celebrating Black History Month early this year, Duplessis ran into Dexter Nelson II, the library’s curator, who invited her to have a meeting about doing an installation for the venue.
