How can collectively inspired memorials truthfully function?
How should the dead, once desecrated, now be honored?
What is the reparative capacity of a monument?
How can memorializing gestures, space, or objects serve that capacity to its fullest potential?

From the Ground UP was a convergence of local community stakeholders and artists led by Ann Street Gallery Artist Researcher in Residence (ARiR) Jean-Marc Superville Sovak and Ann Street Gallery Director, Alison McNulty. The project brings creative research and practice together with community members dedicated to imagining, rendering, and presenting collaboratively-designed visions for remembering and honoring African- Americans buried in, and disinterred from, Newburgh’s “Colored Burial Ground” through conversation and the arts.
This video serves as an introduction to the research, a socially engaged art practice, and creative output that informs my practice as an Artist Researcher in Residence at Ann Street Gallery in conjunction with From the Ground UP. a
The project archives aim to serve as a model for collective forms of memorialization, a resource, and symbolic form of restorative justice for the City of Newburgh. From the Ground UP aimed to engage histories that have been erased from dominant historical narratives, specifically Black lives during the period shortly after the gradual abolition of slavery in New York State (1827) and the Civil War, a period that coincides with the Newburgh “colored” cemetery’s usage.
The project asks: How can the arts and spaces designed for the exhibition of art facilitate community conversation, healing, imagining, and creativity? From the Ground UP is conceived as an open-source feedback loop to display a diversity of ideas and creative forms of what publicly-inspired and collaboratively-designed memorials could look like, including stories, offerings, speculative proposals, performances, readings, discussions, and more.
