“A playground telling a story of desegregation in D.C., a sonic memorial to the AIDS crisis and a blooming statue of barrier-breaking singer Marian Anderson are among six temporary art installations debuting this week on the National Mall.

"Beyond Granite: Pulling Together" is the first curated outdoor exhibition of its kind in the history of the National Mall, organizers say. The works spotlight struggles for liberty and equality that aren't reflected in the towering monuments around one of the United States' most iconic spaces.”
