Lana Abraham-Murawski is honored to have her artwork “Meeting of the Minds” and “Bird of Flight #1 and #2” featured in “The Underground Library: An Archive of Our Truth,” a @badguild Lab initiative commissioned by @CooperHewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum for their exhibition “Making Home – Smithsonian Design Triennial,” opening November 2, 2024, through August 10, 2025.

“The Underground Library” is inspired by the Underground Railroad, the clandestine network established in the early 19th century, through which many enslaved African Americans traveled in search of freedom. This library installation represents a 21st-century sanctuary surrounded by art, objects, artifacts, and books of Black legacy. In reimagining and repurposing the Andrew Carnegie personal library, BADG invites visitors to examine the power of home libraries and the significance of literacy, remembering that African Americans were denied the right to read under slavery.
