Klappentext
The first publication to document the International African American Museum's landscape design by Hood Design Studio, illuminating its mission and historic siteThe African Ancestors Garden is the first book to be published in conjunction with the International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston, South Carolina. The museum's landscape design by Hood Design Studio, led by award-winning Walter Hood, exemplifies the museum's mission to reflect on its location at Gadsden's Wharf, the point at which nearly half of all enslaved Africans arrived in North America.
With contributions by figures critical to the realization of the International African American Museum, this significant book presents the intensive site research and concepts that went into the distinct spaces at the museum, including an infinity reflecting pool and an ethnobotanical showcase of African plants brought to North America though that landing. Hood's design response to these historic grounds addresses memory, tragedy, and culture, a moving homage to the living Charleston community and the African diaspora at large.
Hood Design Studio, led by MacArthur 'Genius' Grant-winner Walter Hood, is at the forefront of the expanding field of social activism through design, and this book allows us a detailed overview of the conceptualization and creation of a remarkable and deeply meaningful landscape, proposing a way of designing public spaces and cultural institutions that embody the African American experience.
