Join landscape architect Elizabeth J Kennedy, FASLA, PLA, at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, October 15 from 6:30 to 8 PM. Kennedy will explore the challenges of designing tough sites, locations steeped in culturally charged and contested histories. Kennedy will focus on her ongoing projects, including the Inwood Sacred Site in northern Manhattan. The site, a former African burial ground on land originally taken from the Lenni Lenape, represents complex narratives of displacement and cultural heritage. She will then be joined in conversation with cultural consultant Peggy King Jorde and architect Rodney Leon, collaborators on the African Burial Ground National Monument.This lecture is presented in partnership with Dumbarton Oaks' Garden and Landscape Studies Department.
