Title
(Architecture) At the Water's Edge: Harlem African Burial Ground Revisited Studio
Description
Fall 2023 Place, Memory & Culture Incubator studio, taught by Professor Jerome Haferd.
Abstract
This studio will (re)engage the Harlem African Burial Ground Site, its community coalition and investigate it within the cultural, historical, urban, and aesthetic context of The Water’s Edge. The studio participates in the pedagogical, communal, and institutional context of the new Place, Memory, and Culture Incubator, seeking to connect the Spitzer School of Architecture to Harlem through community engagement. Together with prof. Haferd and using existing studies, contemporary movement/ritual practice as a point of departure, students will embark on an innovative pedagogy of collaboration with community members and cultural bearers in the archival stewardship, preservation, and futurity of the site. We seek an architecture of the Water’s Edge.

Urban U is a CUNY-TV magazine show about CUNY students, faculty, alumni, and programs. The stories highlight the quality and rewards of a CUNY education, one that enables people to achieve great things. As the world’s largest urban university with 24 campuses spread across New York City’s five boroughs, CUNY is as rich and diverse as the City itself. With a history of over 100 years, the university scope of Urban U stories is immense.
Urban U will inform, inspire and engage viewers by reporting on the relevant happenings within the CUNY system, but also by exploring the achievements of its body of students, faculty and alumni.
