DESCRIPTION:Led by Van Cortlandt Park Alliance, Design Trust for Public Space, and Immanuel Oni of Liminal sp, Reimagining has selected three design teams through its Bronx community-engagement-informed Design Ideas Competition, aiming to generate new visions for a memorial honoring the site. Reimagining is honored to announce the Design Ideas Lab cohort: Ground3d, JIMA studio and Rodney Leon Architect. Join us for a talk and reception at Lehman College to celebrate and meet the design teams, learn more about the hidden histories of the Enslaved African Burial Ground in Van Cortlandt Park, and explore how the design ideas lab will lay down a blueprint vision for a future permanent memorial—one that connects Bronx residents and visitors to the site’s history, acknowledges its painful legacy, and creates space for gathering, education, and healing. This panel discussion is part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s REIMAGINING initiative. In partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Immanuel Oni, Liminal Sp, VCPA invites the community to reimagine the park’s Enslaved African Burial Ground site as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration. This project is supported by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation.114919 panel, discussion, enslaved, ideas, lab, Van Cortlant Park, CHASE, Campus Honors and Scholar Engagement, Mellon Foundation, Lehman College, memorial, Rodney Leon, JIMA studio, GROUND3D
