Van Cortlandt Park Alliance, in partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Liminal sp, is launching a “design ideas competition,” seeking architects, landscape architects, artists, or other qualified firms and individuals to submit qualifications to reimagine the Enslaved African Burial Ground in Van Cortlandt Park. Three winners will be selected who will design potential visions for the site that center healing, memory, imagination. These ideas will catapult the project into its next phases, creating momentum for a new memorial that can serve its community for generations to come. 

The REIMAGINING team held a informational webinar on 12/1 to review the process for submitting to the Design Ides Competition RFQ by 12/17 and to answer questions for interested applicants.
