Artist's Narrative:
The concept of the Community Rest Stop is to create a space for gathering,discovery and history,
that also recognizes the past,and embraces the future.The rest stops will explore the significance of
busses in the civil rights movement,and also be used as a space to contemplate the future.
In an era where historically African American neighborhoods are being erased,It's important to
mark the moment,celebrate our presence,and continue to grow that legacy.
One rest stop will represent the rich history of the past,while the other will look to how this,
community reaches its future.
The East Rosedale Rest Stops will embrace the history that brought us here,
from Freedman towns to freedom rides.We've come a long way,but we have so far to go.We will
use the rest stops to reflect,but keep moving forward.By combining a piece of history with Voices
from the neighborhood,the community rest stops will serve as a bridge between the past and the
present,and as a visible and focal gathering
Spot for community.
The rest stops will be well-lit,colorful sculptures,made from the parts of vintage civil rights-era
busses,and long lasting LED technology.They will be interactive with embedded kiosks that have
both audio and visual elements. I will be gathering stories from children,young adults,and long time
residents.This audio,along with text and other visual information,will be a crucial element that
transforms these spaces into living monuments for both the residents,and the city we all love.
