Description
View the outdoor portion of Prospect Park Alliance’s first ever ReImagine Lefferts Artist in Residence, Adama Delphine Fawundu’s site-specific work, Ancestral Whispers. The collection is informed by Prospect Park Alliance’s research into the lives of Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. To date, the Alliance has identified 25 people enslaved by the Lefferts family at the house between its construction in 1783 and the abolition of slavery in New York in 1827. Fawundu has created 25 fabric banners that transform the house’s Flatbush Avenue facade, inspired by and honoring the heroism of the 25 Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. Please note that Lefferts Historic Museum will be closed after December 1st for the season and Fawundu’s work will only be viewable from the exterior.
Ancestral Whispers: Please note that the outdoor portion ReImagine Lefferts Artist in Residence, Adama Delphine Fawundu’s site-specific work, Ancestral Whispers, is currently de-installed for repairs due to high winds and will be re-installed shortly. Thank you for your understanding.
