Scale Model for John Steptoe Exhibit

The Rabbit hOle is currently working with John Steptoe's children, Javaka and Bweela, to design an exhibit celebrating Steptoe's work. Varying in style and subject matter, Steptoe's works are united by their beauty, vibrance, and honesty. His illustrations for Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters (featured in the exhibit design along with several other works) received a Caldecott Honor and a Coretta Scott King Award.
As this scale model shows, visitors will enter the exhibit through a life-size recreation of the bookstore in Steptoe's Uptown. A sliding bookcase will allow visitors to enter the story of Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.
