Nacinimod Deodee, A Long Walk to Freedom and Reflection
December 7, 2019 to December 6, 2020
Brigadier General Charles Young Triangle, Manhattan
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Nacinimod Deodee has created a colorful three-part public art exhibition in this small triangular park, with the aim to activate the park during the cold winter months and compliment the arrival of warmer weather in the spring. A Long Walk to Freedom is a fence installation measuring 100 feet in length and runs along Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. The horizontal, abstract composition is bookended by the numbers 1619 which refers to the year when American slavery began, and an infinity symbol. The artist has also created colorful yarn installations for the park’s lampposts and benches to make the space more inviting. This installation is part of Harlem Needle Arts’ larger We the People | Disrupting Silence textile series and public art initiative honoring African Diasporic peoples past and present.
This project is presented by Harlem Needle Arts.
