Commissioned by Public Art Fund and presented as part of Black Atlantic at Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City, May 17 – November 27, 2022
Five artists reclaim the shoreline as a site of history and imagination. Their sculptures—rooted in wood, metal, rubber, and rope—trace migrations across time and water. Black Atlantic turns the harbor into a living map of movement, resilience, and return.
