The Woodson African American Museum of Florida is proud to present “Harriet Tubman: The Beacon of Hope”, a large-scale sculpture to be exhibited in Florida for the first time.
“The Beacon of Hope” is a monument that tells Harriet Tubman’s continuing story; that amplifies her message of equality, so that all may hear it; and that chronicles her journey. It is our hope that generations of children and adults alike will find the inspiration and the courage to walk in her footsteps and draw strength from the powerful story of one of our great American heroes, finding it within themselves to become “The Beacon of Hope” for others.

Step into the boundless world of iMAGiNE NATiON, where artist iBOMS redefines imagination as an infinite, unexplored land—a motherland of all knowledge and the birthplace of spirituality, science, art, and philosophy.
Often seen as a realm of childhood, iBOMS views imagination as a vital, lifelong force. In this exhibition, he builds a “nation of imagination,” bringing ideas to life through objects and figures crafted with graphite, spray paint, resin casting, digital design, and even elements from nature.
iMAGiNE NATiON invites viewers to rediscover the power of imagination beyond childhood, exploring its potential as a tool for understanding life’s complexities and opportunities. For iBOMS, imagination is not just a creative outlet but a foundational force that shapes culture, structures, and the human psyche.
A multidisciplinary artist, iBOMS uses his craft to inspire, challenge, and transform perspectives. His work reflects his belief that imagination is not merely an escape but an essential means of shaping the world we live in.
Don’t miss this transformative journey into the vibrant and uncharted iMAGiNE NATiON!
