What is The Path?
A transcendent journey of remembrance, resilience, and return. The Path is a visionary museum installation that reimagines the ancestral voyage from Africa to the Americas — and home again. Through art, sound, and story, it honors those whose footsteps shaped our shared destiny.
The Vision
Conceived by Payge Means Hopper, author of Healing the Wounds of American Slavery, The Path brings history and healing together in an immersive, multi-sensory experience. It is both a tribute and a call — inviting audiences to walk with courage through the echoes of the past toward collective restoration.​
A Journey of Remembrance and Renewal
Through original film, spoken word, visual art, and interactive soundscapes, The Path transforms museum space into sacred ground. Visitors are guided through the stages of displacement, endurance, faith, and homecoming — engaging heart, mind, and spirit in a dialogue of memory and hope.
Culture, Collaboration
Legacy
Developed in partnership with cultural historians, artists, and curators across Africa and the United States, The Path is rooted in authentic storytelling and cross-continental collaboration. It celebrates the living bond between Africa and its diaspora — a continuum of identity, creativity, and healing.
