Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An Adobe Illustrator file of the “lower view render” from a project titled “Black Effect” by Tobi Ashiru. The project is an artistic reimagining of the National Museum of African American History and Culture with this view depicting an exterior view of the southeast corner of the building. In this view, the Museum building is depicted in the background, set atop green grass and against a bright yellow sky. In the foreground of the image is a structure with a V-shaped, subterranean entrance in front of the building. The interior walls are shown in gray with white highlighting on the top edge. Over the gray interior of the walls are solid darker gray lines drawn in perspective at the joint where the two parts of the wall meet at the corner below a hexagonal shape and a triangle. There are two green lines running diagonally down the long sides of the walls.
