Opening: Reparations in Public Space

  • Flatbush Central Caribbean Marketplace 2123 Caton Brooklyn, NY 11226 (map)

How can we reclaim rest in a world built on unrest?

Join us for the opening of "Reparations in Public Space: Reclaiming Sacred Ground," an immersive exhibit that reimagines public spaces as sites of healing and remembrance. Through speculative design, poetic narratives, and community participation, the exhibit honors the historical wounds of African Burial Grounds while envisioning more liberatory futures for the collective.

  • Guided meditation and reflections led by community healers

  • Embodied movement with Kierra Foster-Ba from Shaking Spirit Waves

  • Collective altar-building to honor ancestors and sacred spaces

  • Interactive art installations inviting participants to share their visions for reparative public spaces

  • Nourishing refreshments provided by local Black-owned businesses

  • Welcome remarks from Rita Joseph, District 40 NYC Council Member
