Caminodepaz.org artist Ariane Burgess has worked with ninth graders from Mott Haven Prep, a project of East Side Settlement, and the youth group of Pueblo en Marcha to envision the revitalization of a section of our Park. The months long initiative included site visits, measurements, sketches, drawings and scale models.
The major aspects of the students designs include significant green space, a labyrinth and water component reflecting the planned daylighting and restoration of the underground brook.
This exhibition is the fruit of a creative collaboration between Friends of Brook Park and Camino de Paz Labyrinths, and the youth of Mott Haven Village Prep and Pueblo en Marcha (People on the Move). This project is part of the Artists and Communities program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation made possible by major funding from the JP Morgan Chase Foundation.
Special thanks to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and Saint Benedict the Moor.
