On This Land

On This Land is a project that endeavors to illuminate untold histories and envision alternative futures for the landscape of public remembrance by fabricating site markers equipped with the capacity to store archival materials and record personal histories using blockchain technology. Crucially, our project is not just about remembering the past; it is also about shaping the future by reclaiming public spaces and recontextualizing historical markers to foster inclusivity and collective memory. Through community-based archival research and collaboration with designers and technologists, we hope to offer multiple, dynamic entry points to engage a racially, geographically, and generationally diverse audience in the construction of a new understanding of the historical landscape.
