Harlem Lane Activation

Public parks are often what development left behind, and Harlem’s linear parks are literally that: the Manhattan Schist ridge, too steep and too hard to build on, so the rock stayed public.

This ongoing collaboration with activist groups in Harlem reframes that residue as a single corridor of art, culture, and ecology. Working with the West Harlem Art Fund and its annual Harlem Sculpture Gardens, the project treats public art as a claim on a public realm where care is normalized and administered: care organized instead by the people who live there.
