SUMMARY: Walking around Lexington’s Old Courthouse, one may feel watched by ghostly figures in windows, representing ancestors and enslaved people from its historical auction block. In 2016, a vision of an African mother and child inspired the “I Was Here” project, led by artists Marjerie Guion and photographer Patrick Mitchell, showcasing ancestor spirit portraits to honor lost lives. The project aims to shift national spirit and has spread across the country, including installations at the Octagon Museum and projected on New York’s One World Trade Center. A new installation at the courthouse will feature tapestries and a soundscape, enhancing understanding of the project’s significance.
