Conceived as both a memorial and an active burial ground, the Seneca Village Burial Ground and Memorial reclaims the site of the nineteenth-century free Black community displaced by the creation of Central Park. Instead of proposing a fixed monument, the proposal establishes a community land trust that returns the land to descendant stewardship while challenging histories of eminent domain, property and exclusion. Through a layered landscape of burial sites, memorial spaces and flexible structures, the project creates a living place of remembrance that connects past injustices with future generations.
