Completed: October 2006

The Jamestown Settlement Galleries recount the founding of America’s first permanent English colony in 1607. The government, customs, religion and aspirations of these early Virginians play a significant role in the shaping of what would one day be the United States.
For this project, Atta created fifteen life-size figures with a faux-bronze finish. Based on historical drawings and writings, on view are our interpretation of the principal figures of that time: Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, John Rolfe and Queen Anna Nzinga of Angola.
