SUMMARY:Solomon Northup "Hope out of Darkness" - traveling exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The traveling  exhibit\, the centerpiece oif which is an 8 foot tall bronze sculpture of Solomon Northup\, will be in Saratoga Spa Sate Park by the Lincoln Bath House from July 7 – October 7\, 2025. \nMISSION of the Solomon Northup Committee for Commemorative Works\nTo create the opportunity for all persons who encounter Wesley Wofford’s statue of Solomon Northup to experience a profound\, even visceral response\, to the depravity of slavery in all forms and places\, past and present\, through the transformative ‘Out of Darkness’ for a renewed life of freedom again. \nVISION of the Solomon Northup Committee for Commemorative Works\nOur vision with the creation of this monument to Solomon Northup is twofold:\n· To honor a native New Yorker’s life and work – who was wrongfully enslaved as a free citizen in Red River region of Louisiana\, rescued and authored the written work\, Twelve Years A Slave.\n· To create a community gathering space in which to honor our shared past\, uplift our diverse histories\, and inspire new generations of trailblazers toward equality and justice for all. \nGOAL of the Solomon Northup Committee for Commemorative Works\nThe Solomon Northup Committee for Commemorative Works has established a goal to be embodied in its public commemorative works of art: “Each work shall perpetuate the memory of significant elements of American slave history in a permanent manner.” In doing so\, we believe that these artistic memorials represent the continuing efforts to engage injustices through alternative lenses\, and can transform communities across America through conversation and self-expression\, thereby reflecting a more truthful past in the present. \n  \nOf note\, “On Northup’s statue\, there are twelve links to his chain\, one representing every year of his slavery. The 12th link is broken open signifying his freedom\, and in his left hand he clutches a gold object. At first glance\, it seems to be a torch\, but upon further inspection (and reading the Artist’s Statement)\, it is both Northup’s legal freedom documents and his memoir Twelve Years a Slave. The resemblance to a torch is not accidental – artist Wesley Wofford states that the documents Northup grips are “…lighting the way towards a more just and equitable future.” (Sierra Liden\, Rockland County Times\, May 9\, 2025) \n  \nComplete details are avaialble at https://snccw.com/project/ \n  \n
