Artist Ifé Franklin has been honoring the lives, histories, cultures, and traditions of the African diaspora and the formerly enslaved of North America through her “Indigo Project.” The Resurrection of Mark, Phillis, & Phebe is a sculptural installation inspired by the story of Mark, Phillis, and Phebe– enslaved African Americans in Charlestown who conspired to poison their owner during the colonial period of 18th century Boston. By illuminating the enduring presence of African heritage in Black diasporic culture while recognizing Mark, Phillis, and Phebe’s act of resistance, Franklin sees this artwork as a quilt celebrating the African diaspora’s diversity and resilience. The Resurrection of Mark, Phillis, & Phebe transforms a local story marred by violence, far too common in our nation’s historical landscape, into one that honors legacies of resistance with space for mourning and healing. This sculpture is Franklin’s way of creating a respectful and dignified place of rest for the spirits of Mark, Phillis, and Phebe.Resource: Boston Public Art Triennal
