Opening June 7, 2023
Galleries 1 & 2

The Speed Art Museum is honored to present In the Garden, a special installation centered around Amy Sherald’s portrait of the late Breonna Taylor. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was murdered by Louisville Metro Police officers who illegally entered her apartment in March 2020. In the wake of this event and other violent instances like the Minneapolis murder of George Floyd, massive protests demanding justice and renewed social equality for Black and brown bodies commenced across the world.
