Artist Olney Marie Ryland and Addisleigh Park Historian Lisa Wade will join historical archaeologist Meredith B. Linn (Bard Graduate Center) and cartographer/architect Leah Meisterlin (Barnard College) from the Envisioning Seneca Village team. The talk will be moderated by historian John Reddick of the Central Park Ryland’s practice includes both the reconstruction of facades from historically Black neighborhoods such as Weeksville, Brooklyn, and her longstanding work as a property owner and preservation advocate in the postwar African American community of Addisleigh Park, Queens. In contrast, the Envisioning Seneca Village project draws on written descriptions as there is no photographic record of what the neighborhood looked like, to imagine the 19th-century built environment of a predominantly African American settlement once located in what is now Central Park. This discussion will consider the different means by which present-day artists, historians, and residents work to preserve community legacies—whether through physical structures, research, or reimagined representations. Together, the speakers will reflect on the challenges of maintaining living neighborhoods, the responsibilities of commemoration, and the evolving definitions of preservation in both material and cultural terms. <img width="1200" height="350" width_o="1200" height_o="350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de7ad55ddfe40e627b72b151b82832fecd023c06d9c6d43b4325fcf484ba9000/cpc-logo.png" data-mid="240940451" border="0" data-scale="43" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/de7ad55ddfe40e627b72b151b82832fecd023c06d9c6d43b4325fcf484ba9000/cpc-logo.png" /> Images Left: Gergo Baics, Meredith B.
