This Competition Project which has asked for a design of Memorial to African Americans Enslaved by William & Mary and has been completed together by our team in Beijing, S-MU. Our strategy was to shape an experience within the small area, which would infuse respect and understanding of the past to the participants. Our final design proposed a vessel to commemorate the enslaved as individuals and dignify their forced contribution to this institution. To bring the identities of enslaved to life, the vessel’s body holds small spheres of different weights and surface textures with names of enslaved.
