Peale Faces Project by Lauren Muney by Be Here Stories | Stories from Main Street

In 2022, Baltimore artist and participatory-history specialist Lauren Muney hand-cut and installed hundreds of custom silhouette portraits of Baltimore City residents silhouettes at the Peale. These faces encircle several rooms on the first floor, giving visitors, residents and guests the opportunity to feel the Baltimore ‘family’ all around them. You can also hear select stories that were recorded by the sitters in this audio playlist.

This project is supported by the Maryland State Arts Council. Thank you, MSAC! For more information on the MSAC, please visit www.msac.org.
