Birmingham’s Museum of Art unveils a stunning new textile installation, “The Slow Can Beat the Quick,” by artist Christopher Myers, celebrating the city’s legacy of labor from cotton fields to steel mills and Amazon warehouses. Drawing on historical imagery and myth, the piece honors workers past and present, including Bessemer union organizers, and echoes the resilience of Vulcan — proving that slow, steady effort can triumph over speed.
