For his first solo museum exhibition and Creative Capital project premiere, Germane Barnes (2022 Awardee) reflects on the enduring legacy of the Classical orders—the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian—whose distinctive columns continue to proliferate in our built environment today, reimagining architectural orders that are instead rooted in the Black experience, history, and values.
