Denver

A FEW MONTHS AGO I wrote about the iconography of Barack Obama; today I toured the “Manifest Hope” gallery, which brings together many of the classic works of Obama along with new additions. Apparently, the school’s energy is not yet spent.

Manifest Hope is installed in a shabby, trendy neighborhood, amidst declining warehouses and new small businesses. A couple doors down from the gallery, for instance, is a doggie daycare school called The Barkway. Across the street from that is a Krav Maga studio.
