About this Event
The Ground We Build On: Harlem, Landscape & Cultural Memory
Presented as part of the NYCxDESIGN Festival - Harlem Design District (HDD), please join Sara Zewde (Studio Zewde / Harvard GSD) and NYCxDesign Chair Pascale Sablan (The Third Office / Beyond the Built Environment) for an intimate salon exploring how design shapes culture, identity, and belonging in Harlem and beyond. Hosted at NiLu, a cultural anchor in Harlem, this conversation moves beyond the technical to examine how lineage and lived experience actively inform--and challenge--the making of world-class design. The dialogue concludes with a signing of Sablan’s book, GREATNESS: Diverse Designers of Architecture.
We invite you to keep the conversation flowing just steps away at Restaurant Settepani. Enjoy a welcoming prix fixe menu and community atmosphere; please note this dinner is at your own expense.
