Bailey Rae's latest is a musical project inspired by the objects and artworks collected by Theaster Gates at the Stoney Island Arts Bank in Chicago. She attended The Black Artists Retreat there in 2017 and performed in the space. The wide ranging themes takes listeners from the rock hewn churches of Ethopia, to the journey of Black Pioneers Westward, from Miss New York Transit Queen 1957, to how the sunset appears from Harriet Jacobs' loophole.
