Zip Code Memory Project website here.

The ZIP Code Memory Project: Practices of Justice and Repair, a Social Engagement project housed at the Columbia Center for the Study of Social Difference, seeks to find reparative ways to memorialize the devastating losses resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic while also acknowledging its radically differential effects on different Upper New York City neighborhoods. In partnership with community, arts and academic organizations, and working across the zip codes of Morningside Heights, Harlem, Washington Heights and the South Bronx, we will gather a group of scholars, artists and activists to develop a series of hands-on artistic practices that can transform and enliven those spaces. Building on the networks of care that local communities have created, we hope to mobilize memory and repair a sense of trust that will help us all build a sense of shared responsibility and belonging. ZCMP will consist of group meetings and discussions,  reparative memory workshops,  public roundtables featuring the work of reparative memorial artists, the building of an interactive website, and a final exhibition and memorial event.
