InLight 2019 took place on Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16, 2019 from 7 - 11 PM at Chimborazo Park in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond. Projects focused on the social and geographic history of this park including two key moments in the park’s history being the location of the largest Confederate military hospital during the Civil War and following Emancipation, hosting a Freedmen’s community for formerly enslaved African-Americans. InLight artists and projects responded to, elaborated on, and proposed new ways of understanding these complex histories.
