Immanuel Oni on Creating Community Through Design

Layla Dozier | December 22, 2025

Immanuel Oni is a Nigerian-American artist whose work focuses on ways to memorialize spaces in collaboration with the community. From his work on our Opening the Edge project with Lower East Side public housing residents to now leading community engagement in the Bronx with his practice, Liminal sp, informing a new memorial for the Enslaved African Burial Ground, Oni shares his story about how he came to be an artist, his approach as a “Space Doula,” and his role in memorializing the past through public space.
