The Transept, the space between Annenberg and Sanders Theater, is now home to a public art installation entitled “Constellation (Stranger Fruit)” by Sanford Biggers, an African-American sculptor known for his evocative installations. The work represents the struggles of slaves escaping via the Underground Railroad, a theme Biggers recalls in several pieces. “Constellation” evokes heavenly constellations and quilts marked with secret codes that helped guide slaves to freedom. “There...
