Harvard University’s Request for Qualifications for the Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery Memorial Project.

The Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery (H&LS) Memorial Project Committee invites artists, architects, designers, multi-disciplinary teams, and other creators to express their interest in conceiving a site or sites on Harvard’s Cambridge campus for commemoration and reflection, as well as for listening to and living with the University’s legacy of slavery. They seek expressions of interest from those with investments of thought and practice in memorialization, ritual, community-building, history, and questions about the future. In particular, they are interested in creative visions that activate and make visible complex dynamics, such as: permanence and vitality; honor and rebuke; ecology and the built environment; institutional interest and the common good. They welcome submissions from individuals, collaboratives, and teams rooted in traditional or non-traditional memorial practices at any stage of their career. Upon review of all submissions, the Memorial Project committee will invite a small group of finalists to visit Harvard, meet with community members, and submit formal proposals to be considered for the Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery Memorial.
