SUMMARY:Reimagining the Archive: Black Memory as Design Praxis
DESCRIPTION:Please register here.\nThe Place\, Memory &amp\; Culture Incuba
 tor (PMCI) at the Spitzer School of Architecture\, City College of New Yor
 k\, invites you to attend Reimagining the Archive: Black Memory as Design 
 Praxis\, a three-day symposium exploring how Afro-diasporic memory and cul
 tural practices are reshaping architecture\, preservation\, and the built 
 environment.\n\nWhat is “the built archive\,” and how can it be unders
 tood as a living\, spatial\, and community-centered practice?\n\nAcross di
 sciplines\, designers\, archivists\, artists\, and cultural workers are ex
 panding the boundaries of the archive—embedding it within neighborhoods\
 , landscapes\, and collective memory. This symposium brings together leadi
 ng and emerging voices to reflect on and imagine new frameworks for preser
 vation\, storytelling\, and culturally resilient futures.\n\nFounded three
  years ago\, the Harlem Place\, Memory &amp\; Culture Incubator (PMCI) is 
 a collaborative initiative that rethinks preservation as an active\, creat
 ive\, and community-driven process. Through partnerships across Harlem and
  beyond\, PMCI has developed new approaches to engaging history\, memory\,
  and place. \n\nThis symposium marks a milestone moment\, including the t
 ransition of the Harlem Place\, Memory &amp\; Culture Archive to community
  partners.\n\nWhat to expect:\nOver the course of the symposium\, you’ll
  experience keynote lectures\, panel discussions\, roundtables\, site visi
 ts\, performances\, and community-based activations exploring how Afro-dia
 sporic memory shapes design and preservation practices today.\n\nEvent Sch
