White marble also forms the border around the pool.)

The work, "dreaming of a beyond: Baltimore," is the result of the Levester Williams's Exploratory Research Residency at CADVC, ongoing since 2023. During this time, Williams has been researching the histories and mythologies of Cockeysville (Maryland) marble, a material used in many salient objects in the local built environment, including the Washington Monument and iconic exterior steps of Baltimore rowhomes. The film results from this research as well as movement workshops and other activities that included the participation of UMBC students and other Baltimore residents. Artist Nia Hampton, a current IMDA graduate student, and her mother, artist and arts advocate Sheila Gaskins, are featured performers. The filmic work was assisted by IMDA graduate student Bao Nguyen and artist Savannah Knoop, who worked on the project as an intimacy coordinator and facilitator. In Williams's words, the project underscores the "intertwined history of African-Americans' plight to self-determined agency and full citizenship, and a rather benign stone."

Levester Williams will be joined in conversation with Lisa Freiman, an acclaimed independent curator. She was the inaugural director of the Institute of Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, and formerly Chair of Contemporary Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In 2011, she was Commissioner of the American Pavillion at the Venice Biennial.
