Industrial Afterglow is a multimedia exhibition exploring the afterlives of industry, technology, and environmental memory through the lens of contemporary art. Curated by Liz Faust, the show brings together 22 artists working across sculpture, video, installation, photography, textiles, and ecological media.
Baltimore’s legacy as an industrial and cultural hub makes it a powerful backdrop for this exhibition. Industrial Afterglow invites public reflection on the city’s post-industrial transformations and highlights artists envisioning new models of ecological repair, technological ethics, and speculative futures.
Organized in collaboration with Spark: Baltimore Arts & Innovation, UMBC, Towson University, PNC Foundation, and The Peale. Industrial Afterglow is on view on The Peale’s second and third floors now through December 7, 2025.
