Home is where the heart is... and the mayhem.

Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley is a wickedly funny and deeply moving portrait of three eccentric sisters brought back together in their small-town Mississippi home after the youngest, Babe, shoots her abusive husband. Navigating scandal, simmering resentments, and a family legacy of heartbreak, the Magrath sisters find themselves teetering between tragedy and absurdity. With razor-sharp wit and raw emotional truth, Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play captures the chaos, comedy, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.

Witness an extraordinary exhibition curated by renowned Detroit-based artist Tyree Guyton, whose work has transformed the art world and inspired communities for over 40 years. Tyree Guyton is best known for his iconic Heidelberg Project, which has turned discarded objects into powerful symbols of community, resilience, and hope.

“Armed with a paintbrush, a broom, and neighborhood children, Guyton and Grandpa began by cleaning up vacant lots on Heidelberg Street”.

Thank you to the Charles Aymond Foundation and Arlo Steel for sponsoring 40 Years in the Hood: Detroit’s Heidelberg Project. THANK YOU to The Heidelberg Project for making this exhibit accessible to Jackson’s youth, neighborhoods, and surrounding communities.
