Mecca in Memory: for Mecca Premiere

This summer, in collaboration with Lead Archivist Skyla Hearn, we launched Floating Monuments: "for Mecca"—our most ambitious inflatable monument to date—at Illinois Tech, on the site where Bronzeville’s historic Mecca Flats once stood. Rooted in Bronzeville’s history, "for Mecca" engages questions of erasure, systemic disinvestment, and Black cultural legacy while creating space for gathering and reflection. The launch unfolded through a series of public moments, including a ceremonial inflate, processional, performances, and panel conversations that honored the Mecca’s past and ongoing significance.
