Abstract
-
ReGrounding Harlem is an archival fabulation of the history of the Harlem African Burial Ground that deems exhumation as reparation. After analyzing the layers of the site’s ground, we are exploring the Ground as a medium that harnesses the narratives and lives of inhabitants that have been disrupted through time. The Ground continues to disrupt the next phase of time following the Economic Development Corporation developmental plan for the Harlem African Burial Ground. Narratives and the identities of the site’s inhabitants through time are hidden inside forgotten objects and the Ground, and will continue to haunt this development as vertical eruptions.
