For the past three years, Transylvania University professors\nKurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova have been spreading a message: Unlearn Fear +\nHate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this weekend, that message will be hard to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will hang above downtown Lexington on a stainless steel\nhalo measuring 23 feet across and weighing more than a ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The professors’ Unlearn Fear + Hate public art project is already a familiar sight to many Lexingtonians. Similar halos with that phrase in various languages have been displayed around town \u2014 from libraries to the UK Gatton Student Center. The message has been stenciled on roads and sidewalks, and it was part of a community project that turned coloring pages into gilded illuminations. #UnlearnFearAndHate<\/a> also spreads on social media because people are encouraged to take and share selfies with their heads inside the halo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words inscribed on the piece come from a poem by Frank X Walker, Kentucky’s first African American poet laureate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the halo a prominent downtown fixture will both\namplify and refresh the message. “There are so many people who will see it\nwho have never had any awareness of Unlearn Fear + Hate, so the conservation\nwill become new again,\u201d Gohde said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers are installing the halo on a nine-story office building at 201 W. Short Street. They’ve turned a corner of a nearby parking lot into a temporary studio to weld together the artwork; it arrived Wednesday in pieces because it’s too large to have been shipped whole from the local Prometheus Bronze Foundry & Custom Metal Fabrication, which made the halo. Lights will eventually illuminate the piece at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People will still be able to appear inside the halo in photos \u2014 it’ll be a matter of getting the perspective right, and they’ll have to get someone else to take the picture because of the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project<\/a> is being funded in part through the National Endowment for the Arts and Blue Grass Community Foundation. LexArts helped secure the grants and has been involved<\/a> with the project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLexArts has been thrilled to be able to help with this\nfinal, permanent part of a communitywide project,\u201d said Ellen A. \u201cNan\u201d Plummer,\nLexArts\u2019 president and CEO. \u201cKurt and Kremena responded to Lexington\u2019s need to\nexpress our true values in our most significant public space. Frank X Walker\u2019s\nwords inscribed in this stunning sculpture will be a kind of benediction over\nus \u2014 reminding us of our ability and responsibility to heal our divisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst version of the halo<\/a> was attached to the 21c Museum Hotel\nLexington in 2016. It faced the Courthouse Plaza to become part of the\nconversation about a Confederate monument there. The statue has since been\nrelocated along with another one that stood nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The halo also is part of an effort to bring sculptures back\ninto that downtown space, activating the voices of people who live in Lexington\ntoday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s no coincidence the artists are installing the new halo\nas close as possible to the Courthouse Plaza and Cheapside Park, once the site\nof a slave auction. During the work\u2019s formal unveiling \u2014 Gohde isn’t yet sure\nwhen this will be \u2014 participants in a witnessing circle will read the names,\nstories and bills of sale of people sold into slavery at Cheapside as a way to\nbring personhood back to them, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of Unlearn Fear + Hate is to encourage people with\ndiffering beliefs to recognize each other’s humanity, Gohde said. That stems\nfrom the original effort to engage in the Confederate statue conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Both sides were so firmly committed that, rather than\nhaving a conservation to allow them to hear each other, they just left more\ndistant,” Gohde said. “In so many ways, that’s what Unlearn Fear +\nHate has been about: How can we bring people with those different beliefs of\nany form \u2014 whether political or social \u2014 together and cause them to leave if\nnot in agreement at least not more distant from one another.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
