Healing Through Art in the Park

Shabazz and Green’s friendship and presence at Drummer’s Grove inspired decades of incredible photography in the park, as captured in the recently published Prospect Park: Photographs of a Brooklyn Oasis,1980-2025. Spanning 45 years of Jamel Shabazz's photography in Prospect Park, this gorgeous and meditative volume captures the heart and soul of Brooklyn though one of its most cherished spaces. Shabazz and Green will discuss the book’s creation and reception,reflect on their own journeys and Brooklyn’s over the last 45 years, and share their creative, personal and collective strategies for resilience. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies and have them signed. 

This special program is part of Prospect Park Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative, which is transforming the museum to explore the legacies of resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon, and Africans who were enslaved by the Lefferts family.
