Ep. 7: Wall and Water
from Reconnaissance · host Asa Mendelsohn and Fred Schmidt-Arenales
Wall and Water is an audio essay about how historical narratives are written and rewritten continually, about the work of remembering. Through conversations with artists, historians, educators, and city officials, we connect the history of the site of the eighteenth-century Municipal Slave Market on Wall Street, and the sign that’s been standing there for the past year, to ongoing experiences of systemic racism and resistance. Wall and Water became a meditation on freedom and rebellion in New York.
