Description: Fall 2025 Radical Preservation Exercise 2
Language: English
Subject: AME Church; Religion; Tradition
Abstract: The AME Church serves as a living archive that bridges the past and future. As Harlem transforms through market driven erasure and gentrification, this church can serve as a reminder and reimagination of Black culture. By retelling its historical significance, the church becomes a tool that encourages speculative gestures to imagine a future Harlem where Black culture is not displaced but integrated.
