About this Event
Join us at the African American Cultural & Historical Museum of Washtenaw County (AACHM) for an afternoon connecting art, spatial justice, and local Black history.
Presented in partnership with Feat of Resistance and artist Ryan Henyard, Reclaiming Washtenaw pairs visual art and nature photography with the documented histories of racially restrictive covenants (RRCs) across Washtenaw County. From the natural shorelines of Half Moon Lake and Watkins Lake to the residential neighborhoods of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, this gathering explores how systemic housing segregation directly shapes modern disparities in land access, property ownership, and natural healing spaces.
Together, we will hold space for critical questions around spatial justice, honor the deep lineage of care and labor that built our cultural institutions, and center Black belonging in the outdoors and in our community spaces.
