You Can Always Come Back Home

Exhibition on view May 16-June 26, 2026

Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave, Baltimore, MD, 21224

There is a particular kind of knowing that lives in a dinner table—in the grain of the wood, the weight of the chairs, the smell of a meal that no longer exists but somehow never leaves. Baltimore-based twin artists Hope & Faith McCorkle have built an entire exhibition around that knowing, and what it means to carry it long after the table and the person who set it are gone.

You Can Always Come Back Home is an immersive, multidimensional installation that asks one of the most profound questions we can hold: where is home when the world keeps moving and the people who made it are no longer here? Working across large-scale mixed-media scrolls, domestic objects, inherited furniture, and participatory installations, Hope and Faith construct a gallery environment that breathes like a living room—layered, intimate, and full of presence. Rooted in Black feminist thought and bell hooks' concept of homeplace as a site of resistance, the exhibition positions home not as a fixed location but as a space where memory, spirit, and ancestry live as one.
