Santa Monica’s new public art installation entitled, “A Resurrection in Four Stanzas,” by April Banks, 2021, at the Historic Belmar Park, Thursday, February 25, 2021.

The red sculpture is a homage to the shotgun house.

The exhibition is delineated in four metal sculptures at full architectural scale.

The shotgun house was a common architectural style for homes in the Belmar neighborhood and surrounding areas in the early 20th century.

Historic Belmar Park provides a space for recreation and historical reflection on a site where some of Santa Monica’s earliest African American residents lived and contributed to making Santa Monica a vibrant and unique place from 1900 to the 1950s.

Historic Belmar Park is located at 1855 Main Street.
