The CCNY Place Memory & Culture Incubator (PMCI) at the Spitzer School of Architecture recently hosted an outdoor exhibition event at 135th Street with partners that included the New Heritage Theatre, Schomburg Center, Harlem YMCA, Harlem Cultural Archives, and newly re-launched Yoruba Cultural Center.
The multi-site activation, culminating at the New Heritage Theatre Group’s offices and adjacent lot, marked the end of this spring’s “Generative Histories Harlem” course collaboration, the flagship curriculum tied to the Mellon-supported Place Memory & Culture Incubator project, now in its second year. Spitzer School of Architecture undergraduate students, alongside local stakeholders, set up numerous installations and site-specific workshops at historic sites along 135th, including Harlem Hospital, the Schomburg Center, Harlem YMCA, and New Heritage Theatre Group’s offices.
