The traveling sculpture Harriet Tubman: The Journey to Freedom<\/em>, by Wesley Wofford, will be on display in Sylva from September 20 until mid-December. \u201cVisiting this sculpture in Sylva is more than a drive-by experience,\u201d says Dr. Marsha Lee Baker of the Harriet Tubman Sculpture Planning Committee. \u201cIndividuals and groups will be able to stand next to it, touch it, walk around it and sit by and with it.\u201d Visitors can scan a QR code at the site to access orientation tours, and geotours to key local historical sites will also be available.<\/p>\n

The sculpture is an artist print of a commissioned sculpture created by Wofford for a private building in Dallas, TX. The sculpture depicts Tubman, who led enslaved people to freedom on the Underground Railroad, holding the hand of a small child as they run together. Wofford always begins his sculpture with historical research, which presented a challenge for this particular work. \u201cThere were only a few known pictures of Harriet Tubman,\u201d he says. Once Wofford has designed the maquette, a small preliminary model, he then works on a third-scale model, and, finally, the full-size piece. The process takes about 18 months.<\/p>\n

The importance of a traveling artist print became apparent after Wofford shared the original sculpture on social media. \u201cWe never anticipated the reaction we received,\u201d he says. \u201cThe sculpture\u2019s messaging resonated so well with the public that we felt we needed to build a traveling exhibition to further the dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The artist print is an exact second bronze pour from the original mold of the sculpture, but is slightly different from the original. \u201cThe traveling Journey to Freedom<\/em> was built to be transportable with a corten steel base already attached to the sculpture,\u201d Wofford says. \u201cThe patina has more rust colors incorporated into the bronze to match the base.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wofford\u2019s wife and studio director, Odyssey, has collaborated with partners to bring Journey to Freedom<\/em> to locations all over the US. The Jackson County NC NAACP Branch 54AB spearheaded the effort to bring the sculpture to Sylva, finding financial support through grants and local partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the installation of this sculpture in Sylva, our branch seeks to facilitate cultural understanding, create space for dialogue and share traditions that represent a diverse community,\u201d says branch president Dana Murray Patterson. Part of that dialogue will certainly address the differences between the artist and his subject. \u201cAs we study any work of art, sooner or later we want to know about the artist, and then we begin studying the relationship of created and creator,\u201d says Baker. \u201cWe also place it in historical as well as contemporary contexts. A 21st-century white man\u2019s sculpture of a 19th-century black woman\u2019s life asks us to consider who represents whom, and how and why.\u201d<\/p>\n
