INLIGHT 2019
InLight 2019 took place on Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16, 2019 from 7 - 11 PM at Chimborazo Park in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond. Projects focused on the social and geographic history of this park including two key moments in the park's history being the location of the largest Confederate military hospital during the Civil War and following Emancipation, hosting a Freedmen’s community for formerly enslaved African-Americans. InLight artists and projects responded to, elaborated on, and proposed new ways of understanding these complex histories.
InLight 2019 included 20 projects, 4 community partners, 10 local food vendors, a local beer sponsor, and kicked off with the Community Lantern Parade.

Castaway Collective | CASTAWAY
CASTAWAY honors those entwined in the 1925 collapse of the Church Hill Tunnel: We amplify the truths we uncover and imagine what might have been. We bring to light those we lost, both known and unknown. We remember and celebrate the laborers whose stories teach us about our city’s past and challenge us in the present to honor all beings as valuable and worth remembering.
RICHMOND STORY HOUSE unearths and amplifies personal stories from our community. We hold space to collect and share memories that shed light on modern day social justice issues. Guest Collaborator: Wells Hanley.
MILK RIVER ARTS is a working studio where professional artists use creativity to help emerging artists succeed. We create opportunities for the community to join us to exchange ideas, reflect, and deepen our understanding of human connectedness.
Guest Collaborators: Barry O’Keefe, Susann Whittier and Chris Milk Hulburt.
