Artist and alum @kiyanwilliams, '13, recently installed their work "Reaching Towards Warmer Suns" in front of the @anderson.collection.stanford. The work is made of soil from the Powhatan River (James River) in Richmond, Virginia, where some of the first enslaved Black people arrived. Williams says that the sculpture arose from a need to mark the paths of slavery as sacred, and to "memorialize on-going struggles of self-determination for Black people."

Reaching Towards Warmer Suns is on view now through December 5.
