Detroit Mercy’s School of Architecture & Community Development along with Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC) will host an exhibition, “Their Untold Stories: Black Landscape Architects Michigan Connection” inside the Loranger Architecture Building on the McNichols Campus.
It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 through Friday, Sept. 30.
The exhibition explores the history, efforts and impacts of Black landscape architects, artists and designers with a Michigan connection and how their influences have impacted their journey. Through an artistic and research-based approach, this exhibition displays a visually compelling timeline of their stories, forming a deeper unified linkage to the state of Michigan, the city of Detroit and surrounding areas.
The event is an official part of the Detroit Month of Design. 2022 marks the 12th anniversary of the festival, which takes place annually during the month of September.
Programmed by Design Core, Detroit Month of Design is a citywide celebration of creativity that gathers designers and the greater community to celebrate Detroit’s role as a UNESCO City of Design.
