Flavored Water and Corned Beef Sandwiches

Baltimore artist and photographer SHAN Wallace translates her years photographing Lexington Market’s vendors and customers into a large-scale collage piece on the Market’s focal wall on its upper market level. Wallace’s piece focuses on the history of Black food culture in Baltimore and America’s public markets, in general, and is a collaboration with culinary historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris, author of High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America. Wallace is an award-winning visual artist, photographer, and educator from Baltimore; she has exhibited work internationally in galleries and museums including The Baltimore Museum of Art and The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, CA.
