The Requiem Project

  • Triennial Hub at Lyrik 400 Newbury Street Boston, MA, 02215 United States (map)

Rosalyn D. Elder invites community members to participate in her latest art installation, A Requiem For Victims, a mixed-media textile piece that honors the lives of African Americans impacted by state-sanctioned violence. Participants will embroider the names of nearly 4,000 names. This installation will serve as a "tangible acknolwedgment of the sacrifices of those victims, as an effort to begin to understand the why of that violence and to begin a healing process within each of us."

Each name will take approximately one hour to embroider. Sewing experience not required.
