Marcus Brown's "Slavery Trails" features four free Augmented Reality exhibitions across New York City, aiming to share the overlooked stories of enslaved people. Opening July 25 and running through July 2026, the exhibitions are part of the city's Arts in the Park initiative. They will highlight significant historical sites tied to slavery through digital memorials. Two installations will be in Manhattan and one each in Brooklyn and Queens, merging technology, music, and history to honor the enslaved and challenge contemporary narratives.
"The Slave Market: Wall Street" makes visible the enslaved Africans and Native Americans who were bought and sold during the 1711 New York slave market.
"American Gold III & IV" debut golden sculptures of enslaved people overseas on slave ships in the Middle Passage, highlighting their struggles and historical context.
