ELDER
— Masud Olufani.

A bit disconcerting at first glance: sculpted metal arms extending from an actual, large fallen elm tree, alongside the...

Freedom Park Trail
Atlanta (Old Fourth Ward), Georgia, USA
20 May 2020.

***************
▶ "ELDER is a temporary mixed medium installation created to honor the faculty and students of the David T. Howard School, and acknowledges the historic and senior and historic members of Freedom Park's surrounding community —both the people and the trees— for their stability, witnessing, and role in providing a foundation for future generations.

☞ ELDER was commissioned by the Freedom Park Conservancyto commemorate the 2020 restoration and reopening of the site as David T. Howard Middle School. ELDER combines the body of one of the original trees on the school's site, a 100-year-old American elm, with hand castings of David T. Howard High School alumni. The union of the tree and the hands brings together two symbolic representations of history, with memory marked by the human figure and the natural landscape simultaneously."

▶ "Originally opened in 1923 as an elementary school and converted to a high school in 1948, David T. Howard High School was named for David Tobias Howard, a former slave who owned Atlanta's largest black-owned undertaking business and donated the original 7.5 acres for the school's campus. The high school was one of only two serving Atlanta's African-American community during the era of segregation."
