Africatown International Design Studio Awards Ceremony and Reception

The public is invited to witness the culmination of a years-long project to design four memorial sites in Historic Africatown.

THE AFRICATOWN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN IDEA COMPETITION is not about a single site in Historic Africatown, rather it is an interdisciplinary, multi-site design competition that breaks boundaries to organize around four Competition SITES described as: (1) The Africatown Historic District, (2) The Josephine Allen Site, (3) The Africatown Connections Blueways and (4) The Africatown Park USA. Thus, the Competition Is not near-sighted, rather it is a far-sighted impulse that soon will produce designs for 4 SITES and 16 Venues that ultimately will define the BIG Idea- The Africatown Cultural Mile.
