Philadelphia native Victoria Renee Edwards accomplished so much in a career and life cut short by COVID-19. She left behind a lasting legacy with a gallery created in her honor. NatashaCBS3 has the story.
PHILADELPHIA — She was the youngest Black woman museum exhibit designer and she aspired to start her own firm. The 30-year-old Philadelphia native didn’t get to live out her dream, but now, her family is continuing her legacy for her.
Edwards, 30, died from COVID-19 in December, never living to see what would become her biggest and most impactful work of art.“Her mission since I can say from middle school was to do something that inspired empathy, that inspired awareness, social awareness,” Angela Edwards, Victoria’s mother, said.
On Thursday, April 14, her family traveled to Pittsburgh for the unveiling of the exhibit honoring the Pittsburgh playwright, a project Edwards worked on up until she took her last breath.$5 Million In Funding Allocated To Help Pennsylvania Religious Organizations Combat Hate Crime Not only will visitors get to see and feel the passion she created in the August Wilson exhibit, but the center has dedicated a gallery to Edwards in honor of her groundbreaking work — a space inspired by her legacy meant to inspire future artists and designers.
