TITLE: Miracles: The Redd Family Collection of Black Art DIRECTOR: Mikael Owunna, Marques Redd TRT: 47:55 COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States (Georgia Made) SYNOPSIS: In 1990, Melgenia and Vernon Redd opened a gallery called Miracles Fine Art, and it was the first institution of its kind in Macon, GA, that specialized in exhibiting the work of Black artists. Inspired by an activist passion forged in an era that saw the end of Jim Crow, they were determined to contribute to the preservation and celebration of Black art and culture. Over time, they built a collection of over 800 items, including paintings, sculptures, masks, mixed media works, and woven fabrics. In 1996, the gallery was closed due to health challenges. The entire collection was subsequently moved to storage. This documentary explores the history of the collection and its revival in the 2020s by their children Marques Redd and Marquita Sams.
