The Slave Market: Wall Street, 2023

In 1711, a slave market in New York City was a place where enslaved African Americans and Native Americans were sold. In 2023, The Slave Market: Wall Street became an augmented reality sculpture installation presenting that history as part of Slavery Trails, a larger decentralized, musically interactive augmented reality installation series based on slave ships and enslaved people and placed on historical sites throughout the United States. Created by artist Marcus Brown, the series virtually marks areas where enslaved people were held, sold, and worked in the United States and seeks to create an interactive decentralized memorial to slavery in the United States.
