In this video, architect and artist Ifeoma Ebo and writer and participatory designer Antoinette Cooper talk about their project Reparations in Public Space. A trauma-informed community engaged design process, this project will result in speculative design ideas for reimagining sites across New York City that hold trauma for Black people. Led by Ebo and Cooper, the work and resulting exhibition strive to change spatial narratives to transform spaces of trauma into spaces of healing and liberation. The project poses the questions: What does it mean to practice repair, and how do we reconcile spaces that hold the energy of trauma? What is the process of healing and how is it articulated through the design of the spatial environment? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d901d25e2ace520c5177d6a/dff1a31f-087e-4487-a98d-c962cb188d80/IMG_1121.jpg Speaking - Make it stand out Can we democratize city planning?
