We’re thrilled to welcome two new Creative Residents to Martin House in 2027: Charles Lee and Whitney George.
Charles Lee | April 25–May 22, 2027
Lee’s "Dear Mr. Washington" explores Darwin Martin’s fourteen-year correspondence with Booker T. Washington, using the Martin House archives to examine the racial world in which the house was built and lived in. Lee is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator based in the Bay Area whose work spans photography, archives, painting, video, and installation.
Whitney George | Research: August 1-15, 2027 | Installation: Mar. 20–26, 2028
George’s "THE HOUSE OF VOICES" is a site-responsive sound installation exploring Martin House as a vessel of memory, shaped by ritual, beauty, privacy, aspiration, and silence. A composer, conductor, and interdisciplinary artist based in New York, George creates immersive works where sound, architecture, and memory intersect.
We can’t wait to see how these artists bring new perspectives to the Martin House! Stay tuned for more details on public programming related to these projects.
